[cisco-voip] Cheap CME platform?

You may also be able to play with some GNS3, but I am not 100% sure.

I taught myself SRST by using TFTP loading. It works fine, just takes a little while (a UPS is your friend). 

Just make sure your boot loader image supports the network interface you'll be using to connect to your TFTP server. 

You'll be using an older version, but at least you'll get your feet wet. 

Alternatively you can find some Cisco routers on eBay.

I am new to cisco voice and want to learn it. even if its starting out with cme 4.x or something old. i have a 2620xm but i dont have enough flash or ram and it looks to be almost $300 to upgrade it. also have a 1841 but it doesnt appear to be able to run cme. Im hoping i can find something cheaper to run cme on. I also stumbled across the fact that you can boot IOS via TFTP so I was thinking maybe I could squeeze things into a smaller flash by putting some bits on TFTP.
