Herbert,
What IOS are using that allows you to set the interface type to dce 
without enablling frame-relay switching?  Here is the result I get:
R5(config)#int s1/0
R5(config-if)#no shut
R5(config-if)#encap frame
R5(config-if)#frame intf-type dce
Must enable frame-relay switching to configure DCE/NNI
R5(config-if)#
As I am sure you know, there are two methods that permit frame 
encapsulation between two routers without an intermediate frame switch: 
One is called "back-to-back".  It does not require frame-switching or an 
interface set to type dce.  It is can be found on CCO at document ID: 14193.
The other is "hybrid switching"  It does require frame-switching on one 
side and one interface of frame-relay type dce.  It can be found on CCO 
at document ID: 14194.
Did I misunderstand your comment above, or am I missing something?
