Grettings fellow pilgrims (or fellow suffers or whatever).

I was able to solve my V.35 back to back challenge but I have a new one to ask
about. All the literature I have looked over says that you need to use the
DCE end of the Serial crossover cable to simlate a frame relay switch. I have
one serial link that is two v.35 DTE/male cables going to two T1 CSU's. These
CSU's are in turn hooked up by a T1 crossover cable. In this particular case
I have a fully simulated T1 but I am not sure if I can still use that to a
simulated Frame switch and have it work.

Here is the basic topology:

Cisco 7000 (frame switch)

S2/0 DCE to 2501-1 DTE (Serial 0)
S2/1 DCE to 2501-2 DTE (Serial 0)
S2/2 DTE to CSU to CSU to 2501-3 DTE (Serial 0)
S2/5 DCE to 7010 DTE (Serial 2/0)

(as a side note I have all the Serial 1's of the 2501's to the 7010 with
crossover cables).

Will I be able to use the simulated T1 for a simulated frame connection or
will it not work?
