Lynn, While your argument about search engine (SE) crawlers is good for nudging people in the right direction (away from frames), unfortunately it is no longer very compelling: all the major SEs can handle frames, and have done for two or three years. Of course there are many other benefits to SE optimisation of making an accessible page - like sensible writing order and structure, proper use of headings, and so on. Another tack you could take is the "orphan page" argument: what happens if a user finds a framed page marooned out of its frameset through searching, and has no way to get back to the framed site and navigation (other than by inaccessible JS frameset restorers)?
