I don't know what *should* happen, however I can confirm (from personal
experience) it is possible to have a somewhat working link with
mismatched lmi type.
If all the remote sites have cisco and HQ is ANSI I'd change HQ to cisco
for a start, although I think I remember ANSI has less overhead, at last
at lo! speed I think there's a significant difference; anyone can
confirm this ? I can't reach my stuff just now :(, but I remember a case
with IP terminals (like serial terminals but with ethernet, just capable
of doing telnet and print with reverse telnet) at 9600, screen refresh
was MUCH better with ansi (not counting compression).
