Incidentally, we're straight into the router port and still using f/r encap. I'm not really sure of the reasoning behind this, but apparently, the edict came down from on high that all new turn-ups would use frame-relay encap...even if straight into a router port. *shrug*

I would speculate that the reason is that PVC's are easier to move around within a FR cloud, allowing one to reconfigure with less headache. Your T1 is moved to a new router or location with "just a PVC rebuild". --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean@av8.com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
