The Syngress Published book CCNP Remote Access Study Guide ISBN:007211908X
has an excellent section (Ch2) on ALL of the relevant Cisco Router
offerings. The IDG
I find that its better, if you can afford it, to not stick with just one
source but go to multiple sources not only to get a balanced view but also
to find other information omitted by another publisher/author. The future
gains always (hopefully) outweigh the present costs.
After all, all these books are just an authors/publishers interpretation of
the Exam Objectives. Its pot luck what questions you get in the exam so
best to cover ALL the bases if you can.

> Hello all......

> One HUGE gripe: The Cisco Press book had a huge chapter on the Cisco 700.
> The Exam Cram Remote Access book had a pared down chapter on the 700 just
