I used back to back frame relay in real life on a point to multipoint
satellite link setup. Basically you've got one carrier or link that is
received by many remote sites and each site is assigned a different DLCI.
Works well :)

I suppose the back to back frame is more or less of frame relay without
a real frame relay infrastructure?
Clearly, not a real life need. Why deal with frame when you can just
run HDLC or PPP accross straight circuit? :)
