My CyberCafe is experiencing frequent disconnects when exceeding our maximum bandwidth. We currently have a T-1 (Frame Relay) and the ATT tech support guy said that their router is configured to reset our circut if we exceed our maximum bandwidth. Tech support said that I can configure bandwidth shaping on my 1721 to prevent our router from exceeding the bandwidth limit before their router resets the circut. We are a CyberCafe and can't loose our Internet connection for any reason. What commands can I enter the prevent my router from exceeding my T1 bandwidth? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I'm assuming your T1 is running at full line rate (1536 kbps which is also your contracted CIR). At a basic level, you can do something as follows:

int s0/0
description *frame relay interface*
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay traffic-shaping

int s0/0.xx (where xx is your subinterface)
ip address a.b.c.d 255.255.255.252
frame-relay interface-dlci xx (where xx is your PVC)
class shape

map-class frame-relay shape
frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn
frame-relay traffic-rate 1536000 1536000
