As an aside, even if you have a point-to-point T1 from the telco, you 
can still use FR for encapsulation instead of PPP. Just set up your 
end as an FR switch.  Although I've not done it, I believe you can do 
this over ISDN too.

You may find it useful to offer your customers multiple PVCs, 
especially if they have multiple branch offices.
