Frame Relay (FR) support for linux is built into a two tiered system of device
drivers. The upper layer implements RFC1490 FR specification, and uses the

Each DLCI is a point-to-point link between your machine and a remote one.

The configuration script will ask you how many DLCIs you need, as well as
how many DLCIs you want to assign to each Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD).
The DLCI uses a number of function calls to communicate with the FRAD, all
