11/15   What's a good freeware tool to draw network diagrams with? I used
        to use Visio years ago. I just need to do this once, so I don't
        want to buy a package. I have Powerpoint. Can it do it? Xfig is
        a little primitive? Anything else? Can be UNIX, Mac, or Windows-based.
        \_ OpenOffice has a drawing tool that is pretty lame but
           functional.  -tom
        \_ dia
        \_ LaTEX
        \_ xfig!
        \_ Maybe consider omnigraffle on OS X. There is a free version,
           but it is limited. Personally I think that it is completely
           worth paying for.
           \_ Seconded, plus it does Visio file formats.  -John
        \_ I think M$ Word XP or later has okay diagram tool, I use Word 2000
           and the diagram tool is lame.
           \_ Yeah I think it's called "Visio" :-)  -John
              \_ No, Visio is more powerful than the tool within Word XP.
