What I can't do with my home CCNA lab?

My CCNA/CCNP lab has three Cisco 1751 routes with three WIC-1DTSU/T1 cards and two WIC-1AM cards; and two 2950 switches. Right now I'm using it to do CCNA routing practices. So far so good. Is this hardware sufficient for other CCNA practices later on?

I don't use the two WIC-1AM card at all. It has a phone port and another port marked as LINE 0. Can I use them for any CCNA practices? My home doesn't have a phone line any more.

After I'm certified with CCNA, I would also like to use it to do CCNP study. Is this hardware sufficent for CCNP labs?

What extra hardware do you suggest to get CCNA and CCNP? Thanks.

    I don't remember seeing any Dialup at all in Odom's book. I doubt a WIC-1AM would be of much use. You would probably want a WIC-1T (1 Serial Port) or WIC-1DSU-T1 (1 T1 Port) or both.
