I'd like to know what software people are using to document networks.
Visio is obvious but feels like a straight jacket to me.
I liked netviz but it seems owned by CA and unsupported nowadays.

What do you use?

I know what you mean about the straight jacket, Visio used to almost drive me to the sanitarium. One day I bit the bullet and RTFM (and a book) and now I don't find it so frustrating ;)

I have in the past used SmartDraw (http://www.smartdraw.com), it's commercial, but IMHO resonably priced, and I found it quick and easy to whip up network diagrams with it. It's also pretty good at flow charts.

Just my $0.05
