If I were to guess, I would say that the telco is pitching an all frame
relay solution as a way to keep costs down, telling the customer he can
terminate everything on a single router. there is always the question about
the wisdom of terminating an internet connection on the same router that
connects all parts of your inside network....

All you should really need from the carrier is the pvc information, and even
then you should be able to see the local dlci's with inverse arp..  You will
also want to know the LMI type, we always use ANSI unless specifically
requested.  Some of you may think that the new version of Cisco IOS detects
the LMI type automatically but I have seen this not happen on more then on
occasion!

Also, configuring your dlci for IETF is only when you are connecting a cisco
router on one end of the circuit and some other vendor's router on the other
end.  It doesn't matter what the Frame Relay switches are.

I'm also wondering about you using Frame Relay to access the internet and
not HDLC but that was not your question...

Here is more info about configuring frame relay from Cisco:

Nope.  You'll have your DLCI's anyway, and that's really it.  You could ask
them if they've got Cisco FR switches at both ends so you know if you need
to configure 'encap frame IETF' or can leave it to the default using Cisco
FR encapsulation (allows for more options, especially with VoIP/FR), but
that won't really affect a simple FR Data network.
