I got new hardware: Cisco uBR924, Catalyst 1900, and a Reflex 30. What makes it totally schweet is that I got both Ciscos for only $20 total from some guy selling it on Craigslist and the Reflex 30 PCMCIA smart card reader for $5.

The Cisco hardware may find itself employed on my LAN or sold. The uBR924 will come in handy for learning IOS.

The Reflex 30 supposedly works with Linux, but I've had issues with my notebook recognizing it. My wife's Windows XP notebook had no issues, though, so I know for sure the card itself is good.misc:
