You are into the heart of the problem "P2P connections" but maybe I wasn't very clear in my illustration. In your Config you have created an IMA group with three active links. works great. This IMA group however has to be terminated to a port that understands IMA and not a normal T1 port. Your configuration works fine caus you have emulated an ISP connection through a P2P connection to ports that speak IMA "using 3 cross over RJ-48C cable".
If you try to terminate those circuits to a 36170 T1 card "no support for IMA" for example, your CIU will show a status up, line protocol up for each member of IMA group0 members "that is interfaces ATM1/0, ATM1/1, ATM1/2". Looks good? NO :-) If you did a show controllers for "interface ATM1/IMA0" you will see a status showing as up while the line protocol is down (i.e. your whole connection is unusable). That's what I was telling Adam. My apologies for a late reply.. sucked in some shitty code red tracking. I will pass you a config for pass through mode with single links once I am done.
