I used 3 x 2600's and 3 x 2950's. The equipment was probably slightly overkill in a way but the number of devices was ideal for playing around with imo. You'll find the ios on the hardware you have slightly limited in terms of commands.

Grab another 2 2950's for stp etc and try and get something you can practice frame relay on.
