This must have been asked a zillion times, but is there a faq
somewhere with a preferred lab kit list?

JC,
Oh, boy, an opportunity for comment. OK, here goes:
"Your lab dresses in the manner of a male prostitute."
Kidding! Kidding! You need more routers, at least two with ISDN,
and
possibly token ring (and MAU). I would also look at getting an ISDN
simulator... I bit that bullet recently, and the cheapest ISDN
simulator I
found was $1685. I'd sell the 2924 and get parts for the 5005.
Don't blow
too much money on a console server: get a CS-516.
HTH,
Charles
