Greetings All!

I am another new member to the list. Started receiving messages on
Sunday as well. Passed the R/S written on 19 December 2000.

In the process of organizing my game plan, and have come up with
the following so far:

 - Will look into fatkid.com today. (Just learned about it from
   reading messages on this list.)

 - Will order/subscribe to the ccbootcamp.com practice labs this
   week.

 - Already started reading the Cisco Docs. Starting from the lower
   layers, working my way up. (Taking the building block approach.
   Thinking that I need to nail up FR, X.25, PPP, etc. links without
   thinking. Then network layer protocols without thinking. Then
   services...) Been reading a number of other recommended books as
   well.

 - Planning on Monday & Tuesday to be my heavy lab days. Minimum
   8 hours, more than likely 10-12 hours. (Have already scheduled
   work hours and vacation days to accommodate this.) Additional
   lab time on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Saturdays and other
   evenings will shift from reading to lab time as the date gets
   closer.

 - Already scheduled a session with the Cisco/UCSC practice lab in
   San Jose for 7-8 May 2001. (Monday/Tuesday) Approximately one
   month before my scheduled lab date.

 - My R/S lab date is scheduled for 4-5 June 2001 (Monday/Tuesday)
   in San Jose.

Any feedback on my game plan would be appreciated.

I would appreciate anyone sending me copies of the SE practice labs
mentioned in this thread. Or pointers on how/where to obtain them.

cheers,

- kevin
