I am designing a home CCVP lab for the new CCVP track (CVOICE, CIPT1&2, QoS,
TUC) and found an article on blindhog.net about building a virtual home lab
with CUCM 6.0/Unity Connection on vmware, a voice enabled router (either a
2610 or 3640 running CCM 4.X) some fxs/fxo ports, a 2950T switch, another
vmware server runing GNS3/Dynamips.

I am debating what router to buy, I see a nice 3640 router with ccm 4.x
installed, no fxs or fxo ports and no dsp on ebay, and a 3810 MCS.


Has anyone here setup such a lab and was it worth the effort? Like to see
if anyone has succesfully done this or if it is better just to bite the
bullet and buy the correct hardware rather than messing with gns3.

Thanks, if this works, I hope to visio my setup and share it for other to
use. Right now I am in an ebay hardware acquisition phase for dsp, routers,
switches, and other necessary items.
