Take a look at the archives about BCMSN. There was a message from me 2 months ago about BCMSN books. I passed BCRAN yesterday and here are the studymaterial that I used: Books: - Building Cisco Remote access Networks by Pacquet et al. Cisco press. It is good to have for the exam bechause it is based on the BCRAN course and it helps you to consentrate on the right subjects. - BCRAN Building Cisco Remote access networks by Tom Thomas II.Macraw Hill It is an excellent book and much better than his BCMSN book. It explains everything in details. - Cisco IOS 12.0 Dial solutions. Cisco Press. This book contains everything about dial up networking. I am definetly going to read it again for the CCIE. - Remote Access Exam Cram. It was not as good as the Exam Cram for the BCMSN Other materials -Papers from www.cisco.com - Cramsession from www.cramsession.com. It was excellent paper to brush up few hours for the exam and much better than the cramsession paper for BCMSN. - Experience. On the job experience. I could set up a lab with 1 3620 one 800, 2500 and 2600 to play with. Hope this can help somebody on the list Regards Jon Eggert Gudmundsson MCSE,CCNA,CCDA,Switching 2.0,Remote Access Network Administrator Icelandic Banks Data Center -----Original Message----- From: Sam Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 31. október 2000 06:39 To: 'Paul M.
