The Broadband InterCarrier Interface, AFAIK, is only supported by Cisco on 
their WAN ATM switches/concentrators (such as MGX 8900 and BPX 8600); but I 
reserve the right to be wrong.  The LAN version, PNNI, is typically supported 
switch-to-switch.  AFAIK, the PA's for 7200 only support UNI.  Catalyst 
8500MSR and LightStream 1010 support PNNI, but not B-ICI (except for ATM to 
Frame Relay Interworking, AFAIK).

Try with a dash: B-ICI.
