Q - aint he the old duffer in the James Bond movies.
I don't have any experience with routers but I have 12 routers and 6
switches in my home lab and I will get my CCIE. Need voice and Token ring
stuff if you can help out, let me know. would like two 25xx that do TR and a
MSAU. -- I guess. will worry about voice when prices come down. So Q can you
help out with the equipment list.
Once I get the CCIE I am going to pursue a different hobby. I guess mucking
up other peoples networks is real experience mucking up your own aint.
