>I found this excerpt in the DLSW+ Design guide.
"Direct encapsulation provides neither reliable delivery of frames nor local
acknowledgment. All keepalive frames flow end-to-end. Direct encapsulation
is supported only when the end systems reside on Token Ring. Direct
encapsulation does not provide any rerouting."

See table B-2. It looks like direct encap will do ether-to-ether and
ether-to-tokenring as of 12.0. That was big news to me as well. When I get
done with this damn lab (and maybe before it at this rate) I am going to
make a large pile of cco dlsw docs and set fire to them. Now, I know that
"a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds" but how about a
*reasoned* consistency, Cisco? Sheesh.
