There are some places on ze net that will give you remote access to the
actual lab equipment ( plus the stuff that isn't easy to simulate properly -
eg: FR switch, ISDN etc.. )

<plug> We do it for the CCNA labs, and others on specific request. </plug>
but there are other places on the net that will do it for you too.

So remote access to the real kit might suit you better ( especially as the
CCNA course contents change, and the 1900 is going the way of the dodo
in the next update to the exam - and it's to be replaced with the cat 2950 )
