| I've seen warnings that this command is not supported in some terminal programs, but I'm having a heck of a time to get it to work jumping me between telnet sessions consistantly with any darn program. I have used Reflections, Hyperterminal with 98 and 2000.
Anybody get it to work consistantly and if so with what?
Frustrated,

| I have not seen what you say before. What I faced was I cannot send break key from my laptop. | |

| I've not used reflections in a long while, but I've never had any difficulty with this using hyperterminal under 98, NT4 or 2000. From the subject, I'd say you have it right, but I'll go ahead and mention it. In this order you hold down CTL, then SHIFT, then 6, let them all go and hit x.
I know we'll all have to get used to using hyperterminal, but for your lab try using Tera Term. It's free and it beats the hell out of Hyperterminal.

| Doh, Mad.....I didn't know you were suppose to let go then hit x....me a pinhead, but at least others besides me may have gained from this!
As for Tera Term, is that what you expect to see at the Lab? You still on for March or have ya rescheduled?
Thanks as always,

| My post wasn't especially clear. For your home lab and general use, try tera term. For the ACTUAL lab, be prepared to use hyperterminal (bleh!).
I haven't rescheduled yet. I won't reschedule until I feel like I'm more or less ready to take the exam because I have to be able to take anything that comes up be it a month a way or three days away. Two of my friends (one of whom certainly has less experience than me) just passed the lab on their first try. They didn't really start preparing until the last month! If they can do, I at least stand a shot. My goal is the end of the year to at least take the lab.
I've had a bit of downtime recently so I've had a chance to burn through Caslow and spend a bunch of time in our lab. I'm lucky enough to have a very good lab at our office (remotely accessible too). The only thing we really lack is a 3900 and an atm interface. No biggie really. I may try to go over to the local Cisco office to get some time on those.

| That's comforting to know your friends passed and I know you'll do just fine the first time. I'm lucky enough to have a great home lab (only missing the same things you are) and a work lab that is almost as good (missing token ring but I'll loan that to them when the time is right). I'll take Caslow's course in Virginia a month to six weeks before my date and hope that will make the difference. He has been down to Raliegh to see the new one day lab so they have supposedly updated their training class. Of course your current lab date is about 3 weeks ahead of mine, so I'm rooting for ya

PS. I fear ATM cuz I have no experience with it! | |

| How long do you have after taking the CCIE written until you have to complete the lab?? I am hearing that it takes so long to get a lab date, can your CCIE expire in the time it takes to get a lab date or do they take that into consideration?
Thanks for the advice as I near the big plunge! | |

| That's not a concern, especially once they move the scheduling calendar so that it books one day per lab. Think it was early July that I scheduled and the first dates available were late March (gave me two days for my lab), but people cancel and other dates open all the time.

| You have 18 months to take the lab after passing your written. Labs dates are pushed out 8 or 9 months, but that's still plenty of time. And like Yankee said, there are openings due to cancellations all the time. That's how I'm planning to move my date up.

| Hi guys
I live in Halifax and I know we have a ccie lab center here. I was wondering if anybody knows if you can pay a fee to use the lab for some practice before you fork out $1000. | |

| I have used the "certification racks" before here in Atlanta. You just need to call your local center and see what can be arranged.

| Ya, Cisco is pretty friendly about letting you come in and learn on their racks if you have an office nearby.
Back to my dang Ctl^,x question though... It's either VERY, VERY sensitive to the timing of the keystrokes or I'm an idiot because intermittently I can get it to work, but can't make it work repeatedly with Hyperterminal, Win98.
Gettin darn frustrated!

PS. I never mentioned I was doing this from a 2511 configed as a term server with the octopus cable in the console port of 4 other routers.....still frustrated! |
