AppleTalk has been enhanced to support NetWare Link/Frame Relay PVCs. AppleTalk does not require user configuration for connections over PVCs, other than binding the protocol to a WAN board.
When AppleTalk is bound to a board, it posts a listen to the NetWare Link/Frame Relay driver and waits for incoming call indications. AppleTalk accepts all incoming calls and starts to send routing packets down the link as soon as it receives the ready to send signal for the link. AppleTalk does not always voluntarily disconnect a link. If a PVC is down, the NetWare Link/Frame Relay must send disconnect indications to the network protocols.
Currently, AppleTalk supports both Multi-Access and unnumbered point-to-point links over NetWare Link/Frame Relay, the same support that AppleTalk provides for the NetWare Link/X.25TM software and NetWare Link/PPPTM software.
