Buy another manufacturer's switch. Much cheaper. I bought an Olicom ATM
switch and was qucikly able to do SVC, PVC, Classical IP and LANE. The guy
threw in an Olicom Token Ring switch . I didnt realize it at the time,
but it (Tken Ring switch) is exactly (OS menus and all) like the Catalyst
3900 series routers in the real lab (at a fraction of the price)
