Thanks for the replies suggesting a name for lines of equal network distance (from an 
object or objects).

There seems to be no general agreement on what the name should be. Suggestions were:

1. Circles. See the list archives if you want a discussion on the mathematical 
argument for this.

2. Catchments.

3. Buffers.

4. Isopleths. A general name for lines of equal value of a variable.

5. Isolines. Ditto.

6. Isograms. Ditto.

7. Isarithms. Ditto.

8. Isodistances. Used in MI's Drivetime product.

9. Isocosts.

10. Isoeminus.

Decide for yourself.
