PM-3 Support

Hi All,
I'm brand new to Portmaster configuration and I'm having a problem. I
hope someone can help.

My first goal is to set up line1 as a frame relay T-1 router port to my
provider.
I have configured the interface as frm24 connected to w24.

The problem is that I cannot ping outside of my network. My providers
router is 206.251.111.42 The other problem is that when I have the PM-3
connected to my network it kills traffic through my other router (connected
to a 56k circuit) and sometimes produces a IP address conflict which hoses
my servers.

I have been in the Livingston support queue for two days now and had one
call this morning, naturally when I stepped away from the phone for a few
minutes. I called right back but they must have put me at the bottom of
the list again cause even though I called a total of five times I haven't
talked to a tech yet. :- ((

Cheers, Robie

Here are the results I'm getting from the command line. What am I doing
wrong?
