Are any open source/free? I am interested. Dia > for Gnome has stencils that come with it to do "hand baked" diagrams of > networks - if you want to do it manually (yech). I probably stated my problem poorly. I'm really defining what it will be. So dia is probably ok. It would be nice, if there was a tool that would find my mistakes before I implement(and learn the hard way). I'm trying to help a start-up get started. They have about 20 Solaris sparc boxes and maybe 15 Wintel boxes. They are currently part of another company, but in about a month they need to look like their own domain/company. Costs are to be avoided, so I'm thinking linux for anything new. That most notably will be there interent capabilities. Does anyone know a good newbie list for connectivity/net design? I wouldn't want to get to off topic here. Thanks Gary
