Hi David,

Once again thanks so much for knocking together such a great study aid! In my opinion, its one thing knowing the material well, and a completely different one understanding what is required of you on the day of the test – your software and simulations, without a doubt in my mind, gave me the edge I needed on the day of the test.

Really hoping that you are going to extend this kind of offering to the CCDA, CCDP and CCNP.

Kind regards,
Ian Ward (South Africa)

David,

By the way I have a fantastic job as a network engineer with Lockheed Martin Corporation primarily as a result of my CCNA certification.

Thanks is part to you and the study material provided by configterminal.

I am planning on persuing the SNRS certification beginning late this year and I am counting on using configterminal to achieve my goal.

Thanks again

Doug Fleming

I have been using ConfigureTerminal.com and reading the newsletter on a regular basis during the last 6 months.

All I have to say is that it is an incredibly useful site for networking professionals.

It has helped me a lot with my CCNP studies and daily tasks at work.

My most sincere "Well done" to David Bombal and his team.
