CCNP Simulate ISDN?

[networkpulse]

I'm looking to take the Remote Access exam. Does anyone have any good ideas, besided sims to practice on real cisco equipment without an actual telco ISDN line?
I have the following hardware:

Cisco 2501
Cisco 2503 (ISDN)
Cisco 2507
Cisco 4000 (ISDN)
28.8 external modem?

Cisco 1924 and 2916 switches

Cisco 2501
Cisco 2503 (ISDN)
Cisco 2507
Cisco 4000 (ISDN)
28.8 external modem

You can sim most of the ISDN labs but connecting the AUX ports back to back. This would dialer pools etc.. no layer 2 or 3 since there is not an IDSN signal to get status from.

Or bite the bullet and buy a used IDSN sim off ebay or a new one for around 600ish.. I bought a used one myself. Just make sure it does both U and ST interfaces.

I also agree with Wybnormal, the ISDN simulator is probably gonna be a bite...if you could only find fully loaded Adtran 550/800's for say $600 <putting down crack pipe now>

hehehehe

Thanks.
One more question:
What are the best sims to use for ISDN practice? I was thinking of Sybex's CCNP. Any suggestions?
