Matt,

If all you need is diagrams, there have been some good suggestions.

Visio is one of those products where 90% of the customers scratch at the
surface - and use it just as a drawing tool.

The only area where we've had problems is in the 10% of clients who use it
properly - the full version of Visio has some really nice features - stuff
like the ability to click on a router on a diagram, and get taken into a
telnet session to manage that router...the high-end version of Visio will
even wander out round the network and diagram it for you based on quite a
sophisticated discovery process.

M.
