SOLUTION: [clug] Network Simulator Software

[Aaron Smith]

NIST Net was exactly what I was after. Pros: Simple to configure and 
use. Cons: Far too little doc and only runs on linux (also running on 
solaris would have been nice).

Network Simulator 2 can simulate almost any network, and could have done 
the job, but is complex and interacting to the real world (network 
interfaces) seems to be an experimental "extra feature".
