I am somewhere between novice and intermediate and have been researching various ways to get good study/programming time in preperation for the CCNA and was wondering what everyone thought of online live racks like www.howtonetwork.net instead of using GNS3 and having to pay for IOS's.

(and yes I know there are ways to get it for free but I choose not to do that.)

so far this looks better. being free and all....

looks like the only diff between the two is that howtonetwork offers a bunch of ccna help along with the membership.
but i can do without that, i just need the rack time. thx.
