I'd like to put a second request. I often want to very quickly
mock-up a diagram that I'm going to use for myself or for internal
purposes.
Is there any application that takes some kind of *simple* description
and produces a (possibly not so beautiful) picture? For example, I
might say something like:
Router(rtr1) connects to vlan 100
Router(rtr2) connects to Router(rtr1) via T1
switch(sw1) connects to vlan100
switch(sw2) connects to Router(rtr2)
A few hosts connect to Switch(sw1)
A few hosts connect to Switch(sw2)
