When I was putting together my lab, I tried to figure out what would be the best device for ISDN, and maybe voice. I chose the Adtran Atlas 550 even though right now it is the most expensive part of my lab ;-) The advantages of it are: 4 Port ISDN BRI 4 Port FXS 2 port V.35 1 port T-1 The best part is it acts as a CO in a box. Complete with dial plans and everything. It will also function as a Frame Relay switch, and router.

Is there any real difference as far a lab practice goes between the 2926 and 5500 switches? I know they run the same IOS I am just not sure what supervisor capability is necessary for the CCIE lab. Also is the Adtran 500 better/worse than the Teletone? How about a POTS simulator? Do any of these do both ISDN and POTS. I also read in some posts that one of the IBM token Ring switches(8270?) can actually run the Cisco 3920 IOS.Thanks in advance.
