However, its behavior can be very hard to predict and reason about. Is this feature somehow fundamental? Alternatively, is it possible to schedule only those events which would never be unscheduled? If so, we could dispense with it and greatly simplify our models. Any thoughts, particulary references to relevant literature would be greatly appreciated.

NETWORK II.5 from CACI will probably do the job and is available on Suns and PCs, actually it is a very convenient to use package for such an application. I have used it on the PC with animation and on a VAX without animation. My advice is that it is worth considering. Note that a $ 500 price for Universities makes it great but for industry I wouldn't dare quote you it's cost. Good Luck and looking forward to what others have to say. Adel S.
