[cisco-voip] Training material

[Wydra, Jason]

I built mine for around $2500. I have four 2600s from Ebay with various
netmods, an ATA186 plus VMware running 2 CCMS, Unity and IPCC Express (2
clusters). The 2600s go for around $150 on Ebay. I don't have any XM
series though. I'm using 1 2600 as a Frame switch and a Gatekeeper. I
have 2 7960's and one 7940. I also bought some cheap analog phones for 9
bucks each.

By the way, just because I'm lazy and don't feel like looking it up,
does anyone know off the top of their head what the bare requirements
are for CME? Platform/memory?

The only thing I'm missing in my lab is a switch with advanced image,
6509, VG248, ISR router. These are all big ticket items that would
definitely bump up the overall cost. Especially if you're crazy enough
to by a 6509 chassis.

That is not true.

I built a CCM/Unity lab for under $1800..

I built a server with 600GB HD space, 4GB RAM and a P4 dual... Loaded
VMWare GSX and built a CCM cluster with Unity...

Granted, I then added a bunch of phones and a 1760 gateway... (I also
had a bunch of routers (2610 and a pile of 2500s) and a 3550 from my
R&S days).
