anything for a hova fan!

tons of random sources over the course of several months:
eLearning
SRND & other docs from the Cisco web site
Cisco Press series--many taken from the CCIE Voice reading list
face time with a little equipment

everything helped in its own way. the reading gave me a foundation, the elearning helped clear up cloudy concepts from the reading, and the practice helped tie everything together.
