The Coolest Cisco Links of All

Okay, here's my thought. I've got some links that I have found very handy in the Cisco world over the years...links that I typically forget about, but then someone shows me the same link months later and I get all excited about them again. Rather than continuing the cycle, I was hoping to enlist your help to create a post that has all sorts of great links. Eventually, we can compile a list and put them in some permanent place on the website. These links include cool resources, utilities (cheap or free), and "tips". Please don't include blogs in this list (not that they're not valuable...just a different category). So, here's what I've got so far:

Restoring the Vista Telnet Client

Why would Microsoft remove the good ol' command-line telnet client from the default Windows OS X...err, I mean Vista installation?!? Well, they did...but here's how to get it back:
1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel
2. Select Programs and Features
3. From the menu of the left, select Turn Windows Features On or Off
4. Scroll down, and then check the "Telnet client" box
5. Click OK

QoS over VPN Tunnel Configuration

Cisco has posted a nice configuration allowing you to implement QoS over a VPN...Okay, I know there's no "true" QoS over the Internet, but a configuration like this can at least increase your chances of having clean VoIP phones running from a home/small office. Just click below!
