Scott, I have been reading many of the troubleshooting articles about ISIS at the Cisco web site and every WAN scenario indeed involves a fully meshed multipoint frame relay configuration or a p-t-p subinterface setup. What I'm trying to do is not going to work at all. I thank you for your replies.Sometimes I have to be hit over the head before I understand something correctly.
