Well I tried to use these cards in my frame switch and never got it working.
In the end I swapped out the VWIC-2MFT-T1's for WIC-1DSU-T1's and my frame switch started working like a champ! I found an article that shows its possible (according this guy), but I couldn't get it working myself http://dreamforccie.wordpress.com/2010/03/22/convert-your-e1t1-pri-to-serial-interface/ After enabling "frame-relay switching" I created the serial interfaces and configured my hub and spoke but to no avail. On my VWICS I saw CD lights and no alarms but the interfaces were up / protocol down My commands for creating the serial interfaces controller T1 0/0 framing esf linecode b8zs channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24 ! controller T1 0/1 framing esf linecode b8zs channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24 Now this created the following serial interfaces which I configured as follows Serial0/0:0 Serial0/1:0 interface Serial0/0:0 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay logging event subif-link-status logging event dlci-status-change clockrate 56000 no frame-relay inverse-arp frame-relay intf-type dce frame-relay route 204 interface Serial0/1:0 402 interface Serial0/1:0 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay logging event subif-link-status logging event dlci-status-change clockrate 56000 no frame-relay inverse-arp frame-relay intf-type dce frame-relay route 402 interface Serial0/0:0 204 Again once I swapped them out with regular old WIC cards it started working like a champ!

I'm not sure on frame-relay, but when I had a point-to-point setup (HDLC), I could not get the circuit to come up with VWIC2-2MFT-T1 on one side and WIC-DSU on the other side (status stayed as up/down). As soon as I changed both sides to the VWIC2-2MFT-T1, line-protocol came right up. I was told that there's some slight difference in how the channel-groups are setup when you're provisioning the timeslots for the interface. I havent dug into it much more than that since I was able to get it to work with the same card on each side. Frame might be a whole other story, but I would start by having both WIC's be the same on each side if that's possible.
