Frame relay hardware question.

Right now I'm looking into getting some 2620xm routers for my lab. I can get them with Wic1-DSU-t1 cards pretty cheap. I would go with the wic-2t's but that would be a budget buster. I have some wic1-DSU-t1's laying around so I can make them dual serial no problem. Can you use the wic1-DSU-t1 cards and configure them to do the frame relay labs?

Thanks,
Mike

    I'm pretty sure you can - you just need the special T1 cables for them. I got this for my 2620XM:

    Cisco WIC-1DSU-T1 Int Card FOR 1600 1700 2600 3600 3700 (120710012252 )

    and these cables:

    Thank you for purchasing T1 Crossover Cable Cisco WIC1-DSU-T1 Back-to-Back 3 FT

    You should be able to play around with Frame Relay with this setup...

    Thanks Todd. I have the pinout for the T1 crossover cables and can make however many I need.
