Hi,
here the configs,

R1:
!
interface Ethernet0
 ip address 12.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
!
interface Serial0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
!
interface Serial0.1 point-to-point
 ip address 10.1.0.2 255.255.0.0
 ip ospf network point-to-multipoint
 frame-relay interface-dlci 100

router ospf 10
 network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0

R2:

interface Ethernet0
 ip address 11.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
!
interface Serial0
 ip address 10.1.0.1 255.255.0.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ip ospf network Point-to-multipoint
 frame-relay map ip 10.1.0.1 106

router ospf 10
 network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0

The reason I used sub-if in R1 is I wanted to try a hub-spokes scenario once
I am done with this config and I used 'IP OSPF NETWORK POIN-TO-MULTIPOINT'
because by default the ospf network type in S0 of R2 was 'Broadcast' and
some reason I couldn't ping one router to other without FR map command. 'sh
ip ospf nei' command in R2 showed,

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
10.1.0.2 1 INIT/- 00:01:39 10.1.0.2 Serial0

'debug ip ospf packet' showed both routers sending out multicast packets to
form adj.
