I use something with my students. It is a KVM switch connected to a one
in, two out vga video amp. Which means my student can see what I'm
doing even even when I change computers. He has his own wyse terminal
for router access.

I works out pretty good.

BTW, instead of buying a 2511, I bought five IBM PS1's. They boot from
floppy using a free program called cvt100.exe, which is a 22k vt100
emulator.

The short story is that I can see all five core routers debug messages
at once!!! I cann't explain how rewarding it is to debug icmp, and see
each message popup on each console session, in sequence. I use a kvm
switch to jump console to console.

There are some debugs that might help, but not for tutoring purpose...
But this might work.

 From a unix box, have the user "telnet router_ip | tee router_log"

Now you can telnet to the router and do a "tail -f router_log" to see
what's going on.

This should work (if you have a Unix box to jump off of). If you don't,
build linux box and play around. Unix skills in general and scripting
skills will come in VERY handy has a network engineer.
