There are also Appletalk and 700 routers on the CCNP re-cert. I decided to review the 700 documentation on CCO.

Fortunately searching on the 700 brought me to the right docs, although most of the links say, end of sale, etc. Kevin Wigle ----- Original Message ----- From: "mailsub1" To: Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 3:00 PM Subject: RE: CCDP Recertification [7:69911] > Congratulations!
