Ive said this before, and I'll say it again... Trying to mimic the lab by trying to simulate the environment lulls one into a false sense of security. One example being trying to find the identical terminal emulator. If you go to the lab, and find your simulated experience is slightly different from the real one which you got so accustomed to then you may be in trouble with over-nervousness. I think you should deliberately NOT have the same terminal emulator, the same chair, and the same whatever else in the real lab because you will never get it 100% right. Never ever. It is better to know that it will be totally different than to try and gain a false experience and be knocked for six when sit down in your favourite testing centre.
FWIW, the first time I ever used SecureCRT was when I sat my lab. My terminal programs I used were OSX Terminal.app and the Gnome terminal for Ubuntu (whatever thats called). On Windows I use Putty and TerraTerm Pro (Mainly Putty). On OSX Expose makes handling multiple terminal windows VERY easy. One thing I like to do is have one terminal open for each device, and lay the windows out in a similar fashion to what the physical topology is. So if I see some message pop up on the router in the middle and towards the left, I can see on my diagram straight away what router is having a hissy fit. All subjective, all my opinion of course. :) Cheers, Matt CCIE #22386 CCSI #31207 On 13 August 2010 02:11, Farzad A.
