[c-nsp] Frame Relay over ADSL

[Manaf Oqlah]

We are going to use ADSL line to map frame relay dlci through l2tp tunnel to
the frame relay cloud as follow:
|Branch|--(pppoe)--|LNS Router|---|IP Cloud|---|Frame Relay
Cloud|---|HeadQuarter HQ|

What is the configuration on the LNS router to map the branch dlci to the HQ

Regards

Oh, bummer, I totally mis-read your question.. back to the beginner's
class, Oli.

so you want to use a DSL link as backup, instead of an ISDN link?
Simple: use pppoe-client with DDR ("pppoe-client  dial-pool-number <n>
dial-on-demand") functionality, so your PPPoE dialer will only come up
when interesting traffic triggers it, just like an ISDN dialer. there
you go.

Or am I still wrong?
