I have some questions about Frame Relay....but first let me give you
a quick sketch of our setup:
Setup:
            --------- Ethernet 0                                      
            |       |-----------     [mix of Unix, MVS, & PC systems; running
            |       | Ethernet 1       TCP/IP]                        
    --------|       |-----------    [Unix systems; running TCP/IP]
    Serial 0| CISCO | Serial 1                                        
    [56KB to|       |-----------    [X.25 link MVS/comten-comten/MVS
     DDN]   |       |                    via DDN]
            |       | Serial 2                                        
  (X.25 STD)|       | - - - - - -    [ currently vacant ]             
            ---------

Access/Communicate with:  primarily within MILNET domain (.mil), but not 
exclusively. 

Questions:  
        1.  a. What would Frame Relay do for us?  
            b. How would it improve our communications with the rest of the 
               world? 
            c. Who else is using Frame Relay now?

        2.  What additional circuits/equipment would we need to implement
        Frame Relay?

        3.  What would the cost/s of circuit/equipment be?
