If you have some cash, or a credit card you can float for awhile, i think an
isdn emulator would be a better way to go. It may cost you $2000 or so now,
but when your done you can sell it on e-bay and probably get close to what
ya spent on it. Thats how im funding my home lab, yeah I'll have a high
credit card bill fore awhile, but it becomes a moot point once the lab is
passed, and then I can just resell it and all is well.
