NetView for IT Director is NetView for NT together with other code. I am
not familiar with you statement about the AS/400. I was not aware that any
NetView runs there, though IT Director might. But you'd need an NT box
for the NetView portion I am sure. The IT Director price is cheap because
there is some hard-and-fast size limitations about how big a network you
can control. I don't know the details -- just be sure you read it all
carefully before you buy. The idea behind it was that it was a small shop
tool -- a "one product is all you need to manage your intranet" sort of
thing.

Is anyone familar with this product ... after reading the sales pitch I'm
still not sure exactly what it is and how Netview integrates with it. The
sales information talks about Netview being the network management tool
that is packaged with IT Director. Is this a full blown version of
Netview or some subset. The price seems cheap compared to a Netview
license which makes me suspicious. From what I can see the IT Director
runs only on a NT or AS400 platform ... we are running our current Netview
version on a Digital Unix platform. Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks!
