JB, No, I think getting an ISDN simulator is more effecient. You can always use your isdn simulator for 6 months than turn around and resell it. I guess it really boils down to how much money you can afford to spend and how much time you will need the ISDN lines for. If you only need the isdn lines for a couple months, then it might make sense to go with a couple ISDN lines. However if you're going to need them for the long haul, (6mos-1yr), I'd go with the simulator. When I was going for my CCIE, I dished out $2800 and got the teltone ILS-2000, when I could have gone with the ILS-1000 but just didnt know any better.
