I started mapping example from LocFinder into the termnology of Seattle 
wireless to see if it would fit what we have connected. Then I thought it 
might be a cool bit of ASCII art to have a logical  Network-at-a-glance 
representation - each node "box" shows the connections and connection 
details.

Thinking about it a bit more it's a duplication of information and would 
need constant maintenance so I'm not going to do it. I like the idea of a 
simple visual representation  but it would get out of date too easily.
