Anyone interested in such a program might want to talk to a company here in the
Bay area called Trilogy Development.  They make configurator software
for various systems.  One they're calling NetBuilder or something like that.
It's a Windows app on which you draw your network configuration and it produces
a shopping list.  I saw it at the Dallas NetWorld last fall.

Trilogy is at 350 Cambridge Ave, Ste 200, Palo Alto, CA  94306; 415-321-5900.
Tell 'em I sent you.
