i recommend the 16. you will get more money as you grow older and you can
buy bigger ticket items then. If you want to do T/R you should think about a
used 2500.
With 3000$ dollars you could easily buy 3 routers and cables to connect
them.
You may also look into the 1602 it has a 56k dsu that can be hooked up
b-to-b to do dialer commands and you could put a1-port asy/sy serial card
into the 1602 and do serial conncections and look at hdlc and above (PPP,
Frame) for serial connections
These are low cost fully functional routers that will be useful all the way
to CCIE
Three routers hooked b-to-b for home is the best place to start a routing
lab
