Softperfect network scanner alternative

I don't know whether this is the proper place to ask this, but is there an alternative to Softperfect's Network Scanner application for Arch Linux? Thank you.

Re: Softperfect network scanner alternative

Knowing zero about that application, have you looked at Sane and any of the GUI front ends for it? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sane
Disregard.

Re: Softperfect network scanner alternative

From a quick google search it's a network scanner/sniffer. So what you want is Nmap and/or Avahi or similar

EDIT: First hit on google for "softperfect network scanner linux" - http://alternativeto.net/software/softp … form=linux

Boy, did I interpret that incorrectly.  At first glance I thought we were trying to talk to a scanner over a network.  More coffee for ewaller.
