Finally getting lab equipment

Been back at work for about a month now. Turns out the lab equipment has been there for about 5 months. We just opened the boxes last week. Starting with a couple of CallManager Express routers. 2801 and 2821 with Unity express AIM for the small one and Unity express NM for the 2821. It's about time. Wish I had the stuff when I was at home with my broken leg. Anyway, they're plugged in and powered up. Now I've got to figure out how to make them work. Hopefully all that reading is going to come into use now.

I'm not sure how you finished the CCVP exams without knowing the lab equipment you'd need.... but check out these CCVP forum threads:
Doubt about CCVP equipments

If you don't have access to Voice Lab equipment at work, most people will rent rack time and maybe get some of the (cheaper) equipment off of eBay.

You can also check out the HOWTOs over at hack.at to see what people have gotten to work for Voice with Dynamips.
