You *can* have more than one subinterface on a Frame Relay connection. I
have done it sucessfully. Look:
ComOS - Livingston PortMaster
login: !root
Password:
*****> sho tab loc
Location Destination Netmask Group Maxconn Type

pjm ******* 255.255.255.240 1 0 Manual
nrscorp 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0 1 0 Manual
non-stop 10.2.2.1 255.255.255.0 1 0 Manual

datatrain 10.5.1.1 255.255.255.0 1 0 Manual
All of the above are subinterfaces off of our W1 port.
Configuration looks like:
*****> sho loc nrscorp
Location: nrscorp Type: Sub-Interface
IP Address: 10.2.1.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Protocol: Frame Relay Options: Routing
Group: 1 Mtu: 1500
IP DLCI's: DLCI Address
----- ------------
17 10.2.1.2
Here are instructions(I have posted them to the list previously):
add location name
set location name protocol frame
set location name mtu 1500
set location name routing (on,off,broadcast,listen) (you decide)
set location name address IPaddress
set location name group group#
set location name netmask netmask-of-subnet
add dlci name dlci# IPAddress(remote end)
