	Many versions of Comm. Manager routinely ignores the 'largest
frame' field returned in explorers. As such, they will ignore an
explorer or reply to it coming from the 'transparent bridged'
(Ethernet) world and send frames that are too large to be sent to an
ethernet. Fragmentation is not possible. You need to manually
configure the PS/2s. There is a caveat to this effect in the 9.0
documentation on SR/TLB.

   Hi,

   Has anyone tried cisco's source route translational bridging (between
   Ethernet and Token Ring) feature in 9.0.1? We have a PS/2 with OS/2
   1.3 EE, using Comm Mgr and LU6.2 on ether trying to talk to a 3174 on
   a token ring with a AGS+ in between and there are a large number of
   "packets too large for translational bridging" errors. We had a tty
   session once but then it never worked again. I've been talking to
   cisco, but so far, not much help. Thanks.
