We're running a network management project, and are looking for
(graphical) interfaces to such functions. We are aware of minitoring
tools like the Spider, Sniffer and others, but what we're after is
more on the active side - like having a graphical display of your
network, and beeing able to "zoom" in a node to perform eg. configuration
tasks on that node (a "network console").
Of special interest are programs running on UNIX/X/MOTIF/..., but we
would like to know of other systems as well.
HP got a few product, like the LanProbe developed by Eon Systems - a
company recently aquired by HP - that we need to have a closer look at.
Does anybody know of other products ???

Please answer by mail. My official address is:
   olnes%nr.uninett@tor.nta.no
but the gateway between UNINETT's X.400 mail-system and the rest of
the world is unreliable right now, so better use:
   jon@ifi.uio.no

Thanks in advance.
