Below are actual screen shots of Lan Satellite in action. This should give you a little taste of what you can do with it.
Here is a network document window set to View by Net. The network entities are sorted first by network number. The network search is active, running in the background. You can see the network search gauge (the one on the left) showing that the current pass through the zones is about two-thirds complete. You can see the zone search gauge (the one on the right) showing that the PQA EtherTalk zone is about halfway done.

Here is the same window with a couple of network nodes expanded to show their individual entity sockets.

You can resize columns by dragging the column divider.

You can re-order columns by control-dragging them.

Here is the network window set to View by Icon, at 100% scale. (You can keep the list and icon views open simultaneously if you wish.) The drawing tools palette is a floating window.

As shown here, you can select multiple objects and drag objects or groups of objects around. You can also resize objects and set the font, size, color, alignment, etc., of the object label.

In this picture, connecting links have been drawn between several nodes, and a link between the LocalTalk hub and the Mac IIsi is in the process of being drawn by the user. Links automatically stick to their objects. Also, a couple of "user" nodes have been added. A user node is something that does not present itself on the network and therefore is not detectable by the network search. In this case, the Ethernet and LocalTalk hubs have been added and assigned icons and labels by the user.

Several things are shown in this screen shot. The labels of the Netware server and the LaserWriter have been changed by the user to something more descriptive than their actual network names. One of the links has had its pen color set to green. And a circle has been drawn. All objects, including both nodes and shapes, can be given labels. In this case, the circle has been labeled. And you can see that the drawing tool palette shows the circle's attributes for pen color, fill color, text label color, and frame pen size, because the circle is selected.

You can zoom in and out. Here is part of the window, shown at 50% scale, with the page break shown.

You can set up the size of the drawing, and you can set it to automatically expand if new network nodes are found during the network search.

Each network document can search one or more of the zones on the network. So you could have the entire network in a single document, or you could put each zone in a different document, or you can pick certain zones for a document. You can also "link" documents to objects in other documents. For example, you could draw an overview of a WAN, with each zone represented by a box or an icon. Double-clicking the box or icon would open the network document for that zone.
