Hi all,

IMHO, the labs waste time on stuff not on the exam (ATM LANE, AppleTalk,
DECnet, etc.). The subtitle bothers me, "...Covers latest technologies
added to the exam including ATM LANE......" Makes me wonder how much
superfluous stuff in padded in the book. Also, expecting the average
schmoe to be able to set up an 8-router + cat lab is dreaming. I'd like to
see labs scaled back to 4-6 routers.
