Btw, it's only 70% true - it's possible to get ANY hand labs based on the: PC/486,16RAM,300HD, FreeBSD + 2 Async + 2 Ethernet mrtd (or gated), nat daemon, firewall daemon, ppp daemon equipment. Through it's more difficult to prepare such labs, the only things it's difficult to explore by this way are: VoIP, ATM, VLANs, and different exotic (as IBM, AplleTalk etc etc).
