We report evidence of type-I X-ray bursting activity from the transient 1RXSJ170930.2-263927 when it was in outburst early 1997. This identifies the sourceas a probable low-mass X-ray binary containing a neutron star. The error boxesof the detected bursts and of the persistent emission, as obtained with theWide Field Cameras on board the BeppoSAX satellite, rule out an associationwith the proposed radio counterpart (Hjellming & Rupen 1997).Comment: ApJ Letters, accepted Oct 13, 199
