OT: Network map solutions

["Marc Mongeon" <Mongeon@bankoe.com>]

Sorry, this is a bit off-topic, but I thought it might be a quick and
painless way to reach people who have already tackled a problem I'm
facing.

I'm looking for a way to create rather nice-looking network topology
maps.  I figure a solution will involve an easy-to-use object-oriented
drawing program with a library of network objects (routers, switches,
links, clouds, etc.) that is also extensible, so I can add my own ob-
jects.  I'm thinking of something Visio-like, but given the quality of
open-source software I've worked with in the past, I'm certain I can
find something even better.

Has anybody found a utility that fits this description?  I played around
a little bit with a drawing program called "dia," but its object lib-
rary was minimal.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Marc
