the beginning...

   a few years ago i began a journey, a cisco certification journey... i worked in a nortel shop, nortel layer 3 core, nortel layer 2 switches at the edge, nortel up the ass... i knew then that to apply myself to learning this technology would not suit me well in the end... i think a nortel certification was not even available... it seemed a waste of brain cells and for my advanced age, i had killed enough of them along the way, i could afford to lose no more...

   we had a t1 connection to the internet back then and the thought was to upgrade to a routed connection to our isp via a cisco 3614... when the opportunity was presented to our group, nobody bit... i was doing mostly day to day desktop support for this organization, had only a locally specific notion of IP, gaps everywhere in my network knowledge, and of course, i became the biter...

   with help from knowledgeable staff at our isp i managed to get the 3614 up and into production... i was suddenly the cisco guy, and i knew nothing...
