At least part of the problem is that Cisco boxes don't talk NICE, which 
is the protocol used to map out the network. As long as there is just 
one Cisco box in the middle, it can sortof be inferred how it is 
connected from its neighbors. But if you have two Cisco boxes connected, 
and nothing else nearby, then it start becoming hard.

Maybe Paul have some ideas of what could be done here? It might be that 
we just have to hardwire some connectivity information into Pauls 
mapping code for such nodes...
