I often use SwitcherCad III.  It is a full SPICE simulator with
schematic capture front end offered by Linear Tech for free.  They use
it as a sales tool for their parts; it offers generic SPICE
components as well as a very nice library of Linear Tech parts.  You
can also insert text SPICE directives, which will help you with your
transmisison line probelms.  Finally, there is a way to put other
SPICE files into the library it accesses, but I have never done that.

The schematic capture front end is a little clunky, but once you get
used to it, you can use it.  It also offers decent plotting
facilities.
