Well, the short answer is that Cisco released some new icons yesterday and I haven't caught up yet. I am in the process of converting the March 2003 Cisco PowerPoint colour icon set to Dia shapes. They're all done, and people are successfully using them, but there are still a number of bugs -

Hopefully this isn't OT, but Cisco has additional, more Cisco-centric icons available at: http://resources.cisco.com/app/tree.taf?asset_id=64914&public_view=true (CCO guest level access required) ... there are greyscale and bluetone [Adobe?] Illustrator (.eps) (viewable in ggv and gv), as well as
