[c-nsp] DS3 problem on PA-T3

I am stumped on a problem with our Telco here.

We have a frame-relay DS3 from Verizon.  This is how it's connected from the
CO.

Verizon CO Frame router/switch <-> DS3 <-> Adtran Opti3 <-> OC3 fiber <->
Adtran Opti3 <-> DS3 <-> our router

We started having problem two weeks ago and the circuit started bouncing.
We originally had a 7500 router there.  Verizon kept insisting the problem
is CPE so we have tried second DS3 interface on the 7500, different card in
the 7500, then finally swapping out the entire router with a 7200 and
PA-T3.  Verizon finally figured out there was indeed something wrong on
their side and swapped out some cards on the Opti3.  Now the circuit isn't
going up and down but we are seeing trickling errors on the interface
consistantly.  They put a T-berd on our side of the dmark and monitored the
circuit over the weekend.  They are seeing errors coming from our router and
FEBE from CO end.  From our router, I am seeing errors coming from Verizon.

At this point, I can't believe it's our DS3 card.  We have changed the DS3
cable as well.  Does anyone see any possible problem on my side of the
config?  Or any other ideas what could be causing this problem?
