Rich,

Well you can do what I'm doing. I started a home study course for a CCNA. My company offered to pay for it after I told them what I was going to do. You have to start somewhere and since we have all Cisco switches and routers I figured that should be the direction. I've been working on Nortel PBX's for 22 years and feel comfortable with them and technology but i must say that though i could relate to a lot of the concepts some of it I had to read and re-read and re-read before i got it. I started at the end of August and will finish the entire training course over the next week. At that point i will review it for a month or two and go take the CCNA test.
They way i see it is if you understand the concepts of a PBX and on the data side understand switches and routers and the numerous potocols you will be a value to any company. The next step is applications.
With all this new technology working together knowing how to mess different applications together will be extreemly useful.
