absolute rubbish. they should stick with their job and let you do your job which is ensuring that you have the tools you need to do yours. i've used several commercial toolls and not only have they failed on basic things (like actually finding all the devices on the network even when given seeding addresses) but they also cannot be modified/enhanced one evening when you feel like adding a new feature...lets say adding a few new buttons on the web interface to allow SSH'ing to the router on hat page. commercial solution? put in a request...hope it aligns with their idea of their product (or maybe you pay enough money to get their attention).. if networking was based on purely commercial/proprietary tools then there'd be no internet, no web, no social network sites alan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
