Multipoint frame relay allows several pvcs to be configured on one serial
interface on the cisco
Thus a single physical connection at your router can be branched to
multiple points at the other end(s) and the installation of the frame by
the telco will take care of the bandwidth restrictions.
Limitation is the sum of bandwidth at the remote ends cannot exceed the
capacity of the local end (usually T1).
The cisco 2514 has 2 serial ports, each at T1 speed and supports multiple
subinterfaces on each port. I am using one with a single serial port
supporting 5 remote sites at present.
NOTE, I would have used a PM2ER for this but Livinston does not support
more than 2 interfaces (primary and one sub-interface) on the WAN port.

The Livingston IRX 114 has 4 sync interfaces that can be configured with
2 @ 64K and 2 @ T1.

Many routers including the IRX can accommodate both.
