Yes, I would not recommend it as a replacement for a home lab if
you already have one. There are enough bugs in the IOS already not to
have to deal with dynamips ones too ;) It is good for Service Provider
studying though because the cost of 7200 VXRs is really too much just
for home lab purposes. But like Scott said since we only have Ethernet
and Serial in the R&S lab now you can build a home lab without switches
for pretty cheap. Dynamips is however *much* better than the router
"simulators" that are out there for CCNA/CCNP and studies though.
