cisco equipment donations for a public use lab

[xyyz]

i'm pretty sure i'll get the naysayer and the usual cynical remark.

however, i am honestly looking to get a public router pod for anyone to use.
if you have something that is outdated or that you have no use for, please
consider donating it to beef up the lab.

at the moment i have 2x4000-M, 1x4500-M, 1x4700-M. i just purchased a
decade old 500-cs, to allow for console access. i plan to allow anyone to
telnet into the console server and use the routers as they see fit. this
will be free for anyone to use for reasons of test preparation, testing or
anything else. i'm looking to get this up and running within the next few
weeks. (i'm looking to get some help to configure the firewall first).

i'd like a lab setup where all 4 modules for the ccnp exam can be tried.
yes, i know noone will donate an atlas, and i don't know if i'd want the
burden of one anyways. however, anything, 2500's, 1600's, 1900's, 2900's,
etc, would be a nice addition to this lab.

my goal is purely altruistic... and if you feel otherwise, please confine
your views to yourself.

And if anyone has leftover stuff after their donation to the lab, send it my way!

Why would I want to donate when I could use it in my home lab?
