Not Max-Pipeline (I wouldn't know any good reason why to use a
transit network when the equipment can do point-to-point properly),
but Max-Cisco (the guy on the other end insisted on a transit net,
I know that Ciscos can do "unnumbered"). But with current firmwares
it is rather trivial:

LAN Adrs:	Exactly what it states. The Address and Netmask of the
                Ethernet Interface of the remote router. Used to auto-
		matically plug a route here (as always).
IF Adrs:	The local transit net interface IP and Mask
WAN Alias:	The remote transit net interface IP

Works as expected, Ascend finally got it (until late 4.6C when these
options appeared supporting transfer nets was possible but hairy).

Example:

LAN Adrs:	194.99.77.5/25
IF Adrs:	192.168.13.1/30
WAN Alias:	192.168.13.2

Uses 192.168.13.0/30 as a transit net, .1 is local, .2 is remote, and
plugs a route to 194.99.77.0/25 via 192.168.13.2.
