I think you will find that renting real isdn lines will end up being much more expensive. You will really need at least 4 months of time to prep. Even if you use only one line it is going to cost you $240 and then you will not be able to simulate ppp mulitlink. If you look at what the simulators are going for on ebay they hold their value very well. I have seen people sell slimlines used for more then you are selling them new. They rarely go for less then $100 off of the new price.
If a person is patient you can find an older merge for around $1000 on ebay every now and then. Also you need to look everywhere on the internet. I found a teltone isl-2000 at a used test vendor for a very good price a while back. >From: "CiscoB" >Reply-To: "CiscoB" >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: ISDN Simulator [7:41896] >Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 00:04:46 -0400 > >Stephen, > >You could try and find a used Simline2, or you could purchase a couple of >ISDN lines and have them installed in your home.
