get an old 2900 (non-XL) and a 261X (or other FeE ISL/dot1q aware router) -
be aware of the differences between this and "real" MLS and you're 95% of
the way there. Worked for me.
2900s are prolly under $1000 now (bought one in the UK a couple of years
back for #1,250) - and you can resell them on this list oe ebay for cost
anyone care to speculate when the CatOS will be retired from the cets and
the "native" mode will take over? Anyone more than maybe a year off the big
certs, caveat emptor when you buy that Cat5 for your home lab.
