I wish that I had a copy of 507 here to see the error
- can you provide the specifics for all? Todd did not

the error is not in 407 regarding F/R
there's one more I just saw right now:
1) Diagram on page 507 should show TE2 going to a TA instead of going into

There are a lot of errors on this book I agree. Here's 2 of them I
can think of off the top of my head without looking at the book:
1) The pinouts on the RJ-45
2) The frame relay example on multi-point (i think, or was it
point-to-point).

Would you please provide an example or two to the
group. I have worked with Todd for many years, and
while folks may take issue with writing styles, I find
it difficult to believe that 'Mr. CCNA' would have
many errors. The guy has trained hundreds to pass the
test and understand the mate
I would recommend reading Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices for
the 507 exam. Also, if you didn't purchase the Lammle book as "an
actual informative source" then what did you buy it for? Expensive paper
weight I'd say! :)

Not be to rude or anything, but this book is very poorly
written. Luckily I have some previous experience and wasn't relying on
this as an actual informative source. There are some many mistakes, that
are not even in the errata.
Can anyone out there recommend another source of inf
