Well I am using rack rentals from Internetworkexpert along with there
security lab books. It just seem painful to recreate the config for the
vpn concentrator each time when I can just dump all the other devices
configs out. I have no unix backround (Im a weeeendows guru) but im just
interested in hearing what other people did when they rented rack time and
they didn't finish there lab in 1 sitting. Did rancid backup the
concentrator for you?
Good Luck Roger have fun meeting the Brian's.
