Most definitely one-off, but what kind of loop cable would that be ? An ATM one?

I'm thinking that I could terminate the aal5snap pvc into a VLAN on
some convenient third PE router, and then run a straight 802.1q into
the PE router I want the termination on, but mightn't there be some
kind of encapsulation problem? All the examples I've seen do xconnects
between VLANs or between PVCs, not between a VLAN on one hand and a
PVC on the other hand.

Thanks,
Nathan
