Hi all,

I am in desparate need of software for monitoring and managing our growing
appletalk net.  I have LanRanger, but it hardly does the job.

My net is connected to a backbone consisting of several CISCO routers by a
series of FastPaths.  The FastPaths are starting to pile up and knowing what
is out there is getting to be a pain.

I need to be able to detect not only the appletalk stuff, but any IP related
devices as well.  As an example, each time a Mac is turned on, it receives an
IP number from the FastPath.  This is for NCSA and FTP use.

I have heard some reports that there are good programs out there so if anyone
knows anything I will be glad to listen.

Thanks in advance.  E-mail is prefered.

ps.  I just found this group (was reading comp.protocols.appletalk) so forgive
me if this discussion is old hat.
