HI,
you may actually have hit on a pretty good idea, if we formed a vir-coop we
could all pitch in and get some cool equipment and share the costs and
access. How about giving it a go, if we got 20 people (or more perhaps)
involved and we all put in an initial lump sum of $500 say.., we could look
at a very nice lab setup. It would probably have to be based in someone's
house or garage in the u.s. (can't be anywhere else cos of shipping issues)
but I don't see a problem with that. I personally am really interested so
anyone can feel free to mail me on this and we can get something set up.
regards
Zolani

Well, hopefully router simulation software gets better and better, and
then their would be no need for actual equipment in racks to train on.
