I was using a Fore Systems ATM switch and the Cisco PVC autodiscovery
feature didn't work with this switch. I knew which PVC were there and then
I'd look at the Cisco and it would report these other VCI/VPI pairs. If I
set them statically to the PVC I knew was there it worked great, but not
with the auto-discovery. Also the Fore Systems (Marconi now) UNI version 4.0
protocol didn't work with the Cisco UNI version 4.0. After I talked to the
folks at Marconi they said that there is some discrepency in how this code
should be written between then and Cisco and suggested just hard-setting it
to 3.1. After I did this it worked great every time.
