I've been using Protel for yonks, after they bought Neurorouter the
autorouter
became very impressive.
I've had it route boards that normally took 20 hours route in 40 seconds.
Watching it "push'n shove" is really fun :-)
You can customise it to buggery, even freely assign agressor nets, and work
out
impedance characteristics, crosstalk etc etc.
Nowadays Protel has gone insane with their pricing but I still use Client 98
and 99SE.
The polygon pour is really great too, perfect for RF - even at 900 MHz and
2.4 GHz
