Frame Relay Router Help Please
I'm building my lab and ordered a Cisco 3620 Frame Relay Router. It is running 12.3, and I'm unsure if this will work. Could someone please advise? I'm considering exchanging it out for an 1841, but i'm not sure if an 1841 can be used as a Frame Relay Router. Thanks for the help. [h=1][/h]

Passed TSHOOT, Achievement unlocked: (CCNP)
I passed TSHOOT today, it was by far the easiest for me. I now have the CCNP and am ready to start down another path. My advice is to check out the exam topology way ahead of time and build it out in in your home lab/PT/GNS3, this will save you a tremendous amount of time as every "ticket" is worked on the same topology.…

Passed Route
Just passed the ROUTE exam 30 minutes ago. I just barely passed, but I'm happy. To date, this has been the hardest exam I have ever taken in my life.

Write / Erase(ing) home lab connected to a 2509 access server question

Using old routers and switches
I have several basic routers and switches from around 2006. They work, but I imagine their IOSs are seriously out-of-date. I was going to use them for CCNP labs unless anyone thinks they aren't up to it? I just don't have much expendable income, even for lab equipment.

Best Reading Study Materials for Switch?
Something I have been considering for a while as I am preparing to sit for the Route exam.
