Should they then have 34 in each direction or is it ok to
have 34 in one and 27 in the other?

Current framing is DS3 C-bit direct mapping.
Should I change it, and to what?
(config-if)#atm framing ?
   cbitadm   DS3 Framing C-bit ADM
   cbitplcp  DS3 Framing C-bit PLCP
   m23adm    DS3 Framing M23 ADM
   m23plcp   DS3 Framing M23 PLCP

DS3 Scrambling is off if that is of relevance.

Another question: Should one of the routers have clock source internal
on the ATM interface?

Thanks!
