Hello, Bernard,

Very familiar situation. My employer also has problems with comprehending
the fact I am attempting for CCIE. They are coming with ridiculous
commitment ideas if they sponsor ECP1 and couple of round trips. They see
my future CCIE# as ez-pass to other companies. And of course no study time
during work hours. I wonder how others deal with this sort of employers
and what commitment you would consider as acceptable.

I also joined this great group few days ago. Following rules of
introduction - I work as a networking engineer for a network integration
company which is also an ISP. Passed CCIE written Dec 27th. Gathered home
lab consisting of 6 routers of different flavors. Lab is scheduled on
Apr 22nd.
