Robert:
Get your attributes right, I was NOT the original poster with
the problem. Sorry for confusing the LMI/DLCI Inverse ARP/IP
issue. It's been too long a Monday.
For your info, I've been an ISP for 5 years now, 2 years with
a DDS line, the last 3 with frame relay using an OR-HS. I've never
had a frame relay problem that was in any way shape or form the
fault of the router. And yes, I have always allowed the OR to acquire
it's settings automatically. With a properly functional line, it works like
a champ.
