I've had some success using the dynamips 7200
simulator that everyones been talking about. Grab a
few old pc's, load linux on them and load the sim on
top. I've got 4 of them running. Only thing is you
cant do frame relay but everything else is game. Not
the prettiest setup, but it works if you are linux
savvy. Of course the easiest is to buy some routers,
the 2811's are fairly inexpensive and can run most
things...
