Frame relay isn't here so I can use it TODAY. It should be no huge S/W
investment to give us the T1 muxing NOW, that we can use NOW.

That same box, without many serial line cards, will later be used for
frame relay. The box you have to use today will have TOO many serial 
line cards for the future.

Think of it as a stepping stone, if you prefer.
