Hello,

"First, thank you for all your help."

That's good to hear. When you mention "recently...
new capability added...", do you mean in JUNOS latest
5.2 code? I just read through the release note and it
says "Layer 2 VPN interwokring for PPP, HDLC..." but
it also
mentions "Enables you to configure encapsulation for
transmitting IPv4."

Does that mean I cannot transmit my IPX traffic using
the Layer 2 VPN interwokring capability - i.e. one
side of my link is ppp and the other is F/R for my IPX
traffic?

This sounds the answer for the above question is "NO
for my IPX traffic. But if my two links are same, I
can use Martini or l2vpn for my IPX traffic, right?

The CCC recently added interworking solution probably
is the best even it is not the standard, right? Or it
is just part of l2vpn solution for doing
encapsulation.

Thank you very much.
