Their product is called "XNS", a crosstalk network simulator.  They
also sell "MOTIVE", a static timing verifyer.  In addition to
the network simulator, XNS also includes an electromagnetic field
solver: you input physical geometry and it computes capacitance per
unit length, inductance, characteristic impedance, forward and
backward crosstalk coupling coefficients.

I don't actually know whether they support lossy lines or not.
