I currently have a 7204 with a frame relay connection that has about 100 dlci connections, I am planning on moving this router to 3 new circuits, these circuits are 3 DS1 atm circuits. I was looking at the kinda rare PA-A3-8T1/IMA as a solution, My question is, is it possible to configure DLCI's on an ATM interface? -- Thanks, Tim J.

Yes, it is called a Frame Relay ATM Interwork. Your telephone frame provider has to offer Frame over ATM. You might consider instead of the PA-A3-8T1, using a PA-A3-T3 enhanced ATM DS3 card, then use a Larscom IMA DS3-T1 multiplexor. These are rediculously cheap on the used market as some of the large Telco's are dumping them. Ted
