Well, I wouldn't say it's entirely useless as a lab machine, I guess it
depends on what level of labs you plan on doing. I have one and it was
great for my CCNA, along with a 2501 (a must have). The 3801 has a slow
Ethernet connection, two synchronous serial lines, and a T1 controller line,
as well as (I believe) a couple POTS lines, not sure though. The last IOS
version that was released for the thing was 11.3(18) or something, and so
you've got some limitations there. As I find myself preparing for the BSCN
exam I'm finding more and more limitations. It's a little irregular in the
way it interacts with EIGRP and other routing protocols. Anyway, if you can
get one at a cheap price it wouldn't be too bad for a beginning lab.
