Dennis,
I agree with the "dont come cheap part". I must say, in the best interest
of any candidate on this list, get an ISDN simulator.
i say this because ISDN is very involved. Unlike setting up a trCRF/trBRF
(expensive token switching), or doing some svc's or pvc's (expensive ATM),
or even configuring dial-peers and the like (expensive voice).....ISDN is
*FULL* of pitfalls. ISDN can hose you on the lab. ISDN is very common,
and I would consider ISDN closer to a core technology than say something
lesser to worry about. ISDN can mess you up. The archives are full of
people that blew the lab just on ISDN. If you have to use a rental lab,
you really need to give it some time, because its not something you spend
a few evenings with. just some advice.
In the words of Andrew Bruce Caslow "ISDN is a CCIE killer."
