“F*&^ this lab! That’s right, right where it hurts. I decided that if the lab exam was a person I was going to do the equivalent of knocking its damned teeth into its face. The lab should be afraid of ME. Punk ass lab.” - Keith Tokash

Best CCIE Lab study strategy quote ever. :)

Great response from the CCIE Community. I posted my take on the whole fiasco here, and I am glad if it helped in any way. In the end common sense and justice prevailed. The reputation of both NetworkWorld and CertGuard has been severely tarnished by this, and I hope CertGuard and Robert Williams are forthcoming with a proper apology.

Welcome back Ethan!

We use reverse telnet access here for all our lab equipment access and I always wondered (but never had time to investigate) whether we could do reverse ssh. Looks like I’ve just given myself more work to do. Thanks etherealmind! :)
