in CCNA & CCENT
Hello all,
I did a bit of searching but I was unable to find a clear answer.
I am working on my CCNA studies right now, I have been doing the theory for a while now but nothing can replace practice so I decided to setup a home lab.
I currently have 4x 2950 switches (its probably too many but they came in bulk
), I am now looking for two routers. I have my eye on the following:
CISCO SERIES 2600 MODEL 2621XM +WIC1T + WIC2T+SERIAL 8A/S 128MB
or
CISCO 2600 MODEL 2621XM + WIC2T 256MB
Keeping CCNP in mind which setup would be better, this is only for lab environment. Price is the same.

I did some more research today and I am looking at the following:
2-3x CISCO 2600 MODEL 2621XM + WIC2T and a 4A/S module for one for the routers to have it as a frame relay.
From what I understand WIC2T can be also used for FR, the A/S has speed limitations but the functionality remains the same. My question is 4A/S vs WIC2T in real life use/exam what would the differences be.
