Frame Relay Frustration

Hey guys,

I'm working through several core technologies (T1/E1/ISDN + Frame-relay switching) in my home lab and an going mad trying to understand what's going on with some of my connections. The topology is fairly simple with 4 routers (3 routers connected to a 4th router acting as a frame-relay switch). So I have 2 routers connecting to the FR switch using T1 data and the 3rd is connected using E1 data connections. The E1 FR connections have come up (line up / protocol up) with no errors etc. No matter what I do, I cannot get the T1 data connections up and running. The line is up but protocol is down (

The controllers have the same framing and linecoding is configured the same on both sides (ESF and B8ZS). The serial interfaces are configured with the clock sources on the FR switch interfaces set to internal and each branch router set to line.

There are no line errors, CRCs, slips or anything obvious on the physical side. Loopback tests are clean and I have made and re-made the T1/E1 crossover cables with the right pinouts. Do this is what we've got.
