What did they have you do in the lab portion for your CCNA and how doable was it without sight?

Not sure if this is standard though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Hodgson" <andrew(a)hodgsonfamily.org> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 2:58 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] [BW] cisco networking academy for the visionimpaired offering classes for 2010 Hi, I would be interested in finding out how many people take this to the CCNA exams. I did the old-style CCNA study 1 through 4, but kept failing the actual exams, , one reason for which was that by the time the reader read out the question, I was using all my extra time up.

I was just wondering, has anyone else looked into this, or actually done this? I am looking in to the CCNA Discovery, but the site ciscovision.org isn't to detailing.

Telephony systems
by Andrew Hodgson 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi all, Our current Call Manager 4.x servers are creaking under their age, and we are looking at replacing this either with a new Cisco telephony system or a completely new system altogether. The system has to use IP as the connection to the handsets, as we don't want to add in more cables. Has anyone any experience in deploying a new Call manager setup, or a similar telephony system, and how was the accessibility? Thanks. Andrew.

xp media center edition for dell
by David Mehler 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hello, I'm trying to repair a stubborn dell desktop that i swear is trying to spite me. It's running xp media center edition, which is my first question. Does anyone have a vanilla xp media center edition iso? I've got the key for it, on the side of the dell, but the owner has lost the original dell media. The box is getting a stop error 0xc2 a memory test came up good so i don't think it's bad ram. I'm thinking a very badly corrupted windows. It even stops when going in to safe mode, same error. It's running sata drives raided together i think it has a built in hardware raid controller so i'll need to visit dell's site for drivers, i was thinking a custom media center edition iso with the raid/disk controller drivers integrated, would detect the two drives and then i could run a repair. Thanks. Dave.

custom accessible backup media
by David Mehler 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

Hello, I've got a dell that i'm working on that is not booting windows xp properly. It's not under any kind of waranty and a memtest shows it's ram is good, yet even booting windows in safe mode is producing a blue screen stop message 0xc2 message. A reinstall seems the best option. I'm planning on downloading dell drivers for this machine and creating an unattended xp installation disk, my problem is one of backup. This box has two Sata hard disks in it, that i'm not sure how much has been backed up, so before i can reinstall i have to back them up. I'm wondering an accessible solution for this, but also one that i can expand with the necessary sata controller drivers, i'm assuming they're intel of some variety. Thanks. Dave.
