Re: Network Inventory Tool

[Jason LeBlanc <jml () packetpimp org>]

I would second this.  We're evaling it right now, takes a little getting 
used to but the capabilities are pretty impressive.  There is a pretty 
steep cost to play initially.  Once the first chunk of existing devices 
are licensed adding more isn't as painful, at least thats how I'm 
selling it within my org.  This is far more than an inventory tool, the 
config management is where it really is impressive.
