Hello everyone, Sorry for the lack of correspondence - we _have_ been working on IPMT, just not had much to report. We have now made an IPMT web page on the RIPE web site, with the easy-to-remember address: http://www.ripe.net/ipmt Please let me know if you have any comments on the page, or the documents there. There is currently the original old block-diagram, a UML Class Diagram and a UML Use-Case Diagram. I drew the diagrams with Dia, a nice Open Source diagram editor, but I am afraid the exported PNGs are quite large ( my screen is big :-) ), and I couldn't see an easy way to reduce the diagram size in Dia. The files aren't big in terms of KBs though. I had a play with a simple database backend, and it handled all assignments in a slash 14 with ease, and was not that slow for a whole slash 8 - even using the simplest text database. The idea is to make it easy for anyone to get a simple system going, with no "real DB" backend, but let "power-users" easily plug their existing DB in. I am now working on OO Perl modules to sit on top of the above, with full functionality but still just command line.
