3. No need to worry about equipment failures, and replacements.



4. No electricity bills other than the desktop/laptop



5. No configuring the environment, downloads, and installations as with other tools like GNS. You just need a telnet client (Windows MS Dos usually supports telnet). If your MS Dos natively doesn't support, download teraterm software (freeware) so you can telnet to the labs.
