Well, officially, Netview V4 does not support Frame Relay. If you were to
call support, they would say go to V5. I say the same. I found that
usually if it is a plain point-to-point, Netview V4 would usually draw it,
but for the subinterfaces and all you need to get to V5. And in V5 you
also get the ability to have networks represented by a special symbol
for Frame - a little bonus. So come on in, the water is fine!!

Hello Leslie,
First of all i run the locate route and i always reach the routers directly.
there are no other nodes inbitween.
Our routers are Cisco's 2500 and 1600 running Ios v12.04.
there are 2 f/r lines and 1 point to point (HDLC).
As i understand the problem the objects exist but cann't be viewed on the
map - i dont know why but when i try to add the connection manually i always
keep getting the massege " Objects already exist ..selection name should
be..."
I deleted those objects once to create a new map ( with a seed file)
i run the ovtopofix command but maby it didnt delete it.
How can i for sure delete an object and let netview discover it properly?
Greetings ,Oren
P.S: i'm running netview ver. 4 on AIX v4.1.
