- I'm not sure what are you trying to say when you say a map. There is
- software for Sparstetions called SunNetManager. It represents a logical
- view of a network ( it doesn't represent buildings, departments, or
- countries, but it represents networks, links, and devices). I have heard
- of some software that represents phisical layauts of networks, but I
- don't where you can find them.
