Hmmm. I have worked with Spectrum from Cabletron and HP-OV and have also 
discusses a lot with people into Cisco's management tool.

Somehow everyone seems to expect miracles from the autodiscovery tools. 
But most of the tech support people I have spoken were strongly against 
using it. In their experience it was the fast route to getting a totally 
messed up system.

My own experience with the autodiscovery of the various products only 
seems to confirm this.
