rene's topos...

check it out... one of rene's labs... i've done a few already...

awesome...  just drag a router out, give it a hostname, then save and quit with a project name... download his files... then scrape your stuff into his topology from the dummy router you built and you're in... he always uses 3640's and i like 7200's so i just replace the pertinent stuff (model's and slots) with 7200 parameters... faster than building it from scratch and not much work at all... don't forget to scrape in a known good pc idle value... wham...
