Frame-relay back-to-back configuration...

in CCNA & CCENT
Sybex 5th Ed (pg 547) indicates that you can run frame-relay back-to-back using the following example...
However, the connection doesn't come up using this setup (line up, protocol down)...should this config have actually worked?
I did some research and found the below config which worked...apparently you have to disable LMI's on the serial interface with the 'no keepalive' command...
RouterA interface Serial0/0 ip address 192.168.99.1 255.255.255.252 no ip directed-broadcast encapsulation frame-relay clockrate 64000 frame-relay interface-dlci 100 frame-relay lmi-type ansi RouterB interface Serial0/0 ip address 192.168.99.2 255.255.255.252 no ip directed-broadcast encapsulation frame-relay frame-relay interface-dlci 100 frame-relay lmi-type ansi

r_durant,
Do you have a frame relay switch?
No, not where I am right now...I have one at home, but not here at work
