Well, there you go. The function was designed to connect two nodes on the
map. Unnumbered serial support has never drawn anything without the other
end being there. I suspect that this is because serial neworks are straight
lines,
so there is no bubble to connect the other end to.

Leslie,
Thanks for your response.
I called this in to the Tivoli support. They think I need both routers on
the map. I only have 1 of a pair of routers on the map. The upstream
router,
the router on the other end of the frame circuit, is not on our network and
I cannot manage it.
Thanks again.
