I leave in a few minutes to take the CATM 2.1 test.  I have been studying
mostly material from the official CATM 2.1 class, cisco.com, and the boson
tests.  I have assembled information into study notes that I felt would
help me.

WARNING: This is FAR from complete.  I only put down information I felt
could be bulleted easily.  I didn't put anything down about LANE 1/2,
MPOA, SSRP, and tons of other stuff.  Don't think this is some blueprint
to the test, read it and try to take it, because you will fail :).

However if you are studying for CATM 2.1, you may find some of this
helpfull to glance at.  Lots of acronyms in CATM 2.1.

If anyone has any study notes for CVOICE or MCNS please email them to me,
I am taking MCNS in a few days, and CVOICE in about 2 weeks.
