Carl proclaims:
ComOS 3.2R was the first release on the IRX to support Frame Relay sub-interfaces
(a.k.a. DLCI bundling).

A note that there is no such thing as 3.2 yet, the IRX runs 3.2R (and
the Office Router runs 3.2L); if you leave the letter off the end then
you're talking about either the release that runs on the PortMaster
PM-2 series (including the 2E, 2R and 2ER), which is currently at
3.1.4, or the release that runs on the PM-25, currently at 3.1.4. Note
that the PM-2 and PM-25 can't run the same binary, that's why there's
both a pm2_3.1.4 and pm25_3.1.4 in the
ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/livingston/upgrades directory, as well as
or_3.2L and irx_3.2.1R.

And yes, we plan to merge several of those lines to make it less complicated.
