Ready to tackle a router sim but not sure which one is the best for CCNA.
Any suggestions? Free is best but work will pay for one if it comes down to
it.

Thanks

I haven't heard of any free ones, but, then again, I haven't really looked.
The Boson simulator worked fairly well for me, but no simulator can replace
time with a set of routers, switch, etc.

The full version costs US$150. There is a free demo available, but I'm not
sure of the limitations.

I looked at the free demo. Basicly you can look at what they have already
setup but you can not conifg the routers (config t is disabled). Also, on
the part I was looking at, the lines to the 5 routers were down.

Over all I thought it looked like a very good product. You can setup 50
equipment items, they had labs to work though using the routers... If I had
the $$ to spend I'd get it.

Good luck,
