Yup, but pretty common to have both ends of a PVC use the same DLCI too for
simplicty's sake, if the providers oblige, from what I've heard?

Regardless, we agree that this is probably not relevant to his fundamental
problem of the link between the router and the switch being up/down, with
LMI being down.

To bring up the PVC, he would need to make sure his DTE router is using the
correct DLCI, that the DCE switch has a correct statement on the incoming
interface that says what to do with frames that come in for that DLCI, and
that the DTE router at the other end is correctly configured with a correct
DLCI also. And the two ends should be using the same frame relay encap type.

However, we aren't to the point of getting a PVC up yet. We're still working
on the link bewteen that first router and the switch. For that to work,  he
needs physical connectivity (which seems OK, since it's up/down), correct
LMI type, matching keepalives. and a switch that knows it's really a switch,
and maybe a few other things that I'm forgetting.
