If anyone's interested, please just send me a quick e-mail at this address and I'll try to accomodate. What I can offer is a restricted shell via SSH, with telnet access to a terminal server providing console port access to the following: 2501 - IOS 12.1 Enterprise 2514 - IOS 12.1 Enterprise 2521 - IOS 12.1 Enterprise 2521 - IOS 12.1 IP They're wired in a star via the sync serial ports, with the IP-only 2521 as the hub. The 2 2521s are also connected via Token Ring (MAU). I can change any of that around if you like. I can also stick various combinations of Debian Linux and NetWare boxen doing RIP (IP/IPX), OSPF or BGP (zebra) off the 2501 and 2514 Ethernet ports. Hell, even AppleTalk for the truly perverse! If there's interest, I may refine it a bit, but it certainly is more than adequate for CCNA/CCNP self-study. > also like i said by Nov 1st i will have my library of books here if there > is anything i can help you out with then please let me know. I'm actually in pretty good shape. Perhaps others may take you up on the offer. I may be getting a whole new connection shortly (10/1), so use bobg@iname.com if this e-mail addy doesn't work! - Bob
