If only I could afford my own Router ... We finally finished the first semester of the Cisco program, and the WHOLE THING was based on the OSI model. Now, I know that those 7 layers are probably the most important aspect of networking operation, but damn, is that some dryyyyy subject matter. However, we've just started on working with the actual equipment. I've never had exposure to the Cisco IOS, so this is damn fun stuff. I'm beginning to get an idea about what is behind some of those login prompts that I would randomly encounter when I first started messing around with Telnet. Now, even if I COULD afford my own router, I realize I wouldn't have much of a useful application for it, but that would still make learning about the things easier.
