I had a working ATM config on a 7505/PA-A3. I move this to a
7206/PA-A2, which requires a little mashing becuase the PA-A2
only allows VC numbers < 2048 vs. 4096 for the PA-A3. The
config has a hard-coded MAC address for the BVI. Everything
works fine, non-bridged P-P & Multipoint interfaces, but I
can't get any response from the bridged folks, they don't ARP.
Try various alterations and incantatations, including removing
the mac-address, no action.

Replace PA-A2 with PA-A3, reboot with the exact same config,
voila, everything works peachy-keen. 12.1(5)T4, tried both
is and a3js images. NPE-150/128M.

RBE is unfortunately useless here because it only works on a
p-p interface and Covad provisions DSL with each residential
customer on their own PVC (or at least the did for us).
