At each end we have two FreeBSD machines with Fore 200E ATM cards. Since the cards are 155 Mbit, we employ the use of two Metrodata ATM 5300 SW DSU devices, which should convert the data rate from 155 Mbit to 45 Mbit and vice versa in reverse. The problem is that after everything is supposedly configured, when I send some data down the link to the other end(i.e. A PING), sure enough it appears at the other end, but only as an input error on the interface. Here is some data about the configuration we are using.

We have enabled flow control so as not to overload the ds3 link, and have tried various different configurations. Also commands we used to initiate the PVC are: atm set netif hfa0 fa 1 atm attach hfa0 sigpvc atm add pvc hfa0 0 126 aal5 snap ip fa0 I have basicly read through any infomation I have been able to find on the subject, including the FreeBSD web site, and I get the impression that this is a setup that should work. If anyone knows of anything we might be doing wrong, help would be gladly appreciated.
