The 3550 does not support IPX with the L3 license and really doesn't have
any plans too, neither does the 4000 with the Sup III...

IPX not supported on a largely layer-two device? or are you referring to
the L3 features in the 3550-series?

IMHO removing IPX from the lab is just as foolish as removing other
protocols last year... For example: What meaning is a CCIE who doesn't know
how to drive a brand-new 6509 switch running CatOS? or debug a network
with 2500 IPX SAP's (like ours)? God forbid one of these CCIE's should run
in to a router w/DECnet and HSRP running on the same interface!
