Hi

To start your CCIE VOICE journey
I suggest you invest small first.

Get a good server from ebay or something. For example you can get a good P4 dual CPU with 4GB of Ram for $150 US.

Install all the application on vmwares.
Use Dynamip to setup 3 to 4 routers
you can use 2 to 4 softphone to simulate most of the task
download IP BLUE VTGO from www.ipblue.com for softphone
you will need a sip IP Phone as well as CUPC client
get 1 to 2 servers

For PSTN, use the 4th router to act as a IP To IP Voice Gateway to do your PSTN call routing
