FR question

I've run into bit of trouble hooking up a frame relay link. Here's the
situation- if anyone has suggestions let me know. Perhaps it can't be
done?

My IRX has the DLCI 16 for the local DLCI on the primary FR interface.

[IRX frm1]-------[Nynex]----DLCI 17 [pm2er] (works great)
[ ] [ ]----DLCI 18 [ascend] (works great)
[ ] [ ]----DLCI 19 [ascend] (works great)
[ sub-if] [ ]----DLCI 28 [cisco]---DLCI 16--Nynex (no communications)

The IRX and the Cisco are each part of different Frame Relay networks, but
we had the other end include us in their network by giving us DLCI 28 and
having us make a sub-interface, so that makes the IRX part of both
networks.

The key is that both routers have DLCI 16 has their local FR
interface, though each DLCI 16 is on a different FR network for the IRX.
Is this causing the problem, or is the Cisco the problem, or is the
network design the problem? Maybe it will work afterall and it's a Nynex
problem?

I've tried messing with the DLCI-ipnumber static mappings but to no avail.

We also stopped receiving DLCI 28 from the LMI information coming from the
switch, which means it might be a nynex problem. But if it's a Nynex
problem, we have to be lucky and catch a clueful person which hasnt
happened yet.

TIA,
Jason
