does this mean enabling pim on a frame-relay makes it look non nbma thereby
hello is 5 seconds..physical multicasting..

I know this may not help you much..

//snip//

ip hello-interval eigrp
Defaults

For low-speed, NBMA networks: 60 seconds

For all other networks: 5 seconds

The default of 60 seconds applies only to low-speed, nonbroadcast
multiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or
slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command.
Note that for the purposes of Enhanced IGRP, Frame Relay and SMDS networks
may or may not be considered to be NBMA. These networks are considered NBMA
if the interface has not been configured to use physical multicasting;
otherwise, they are considered not to be NBMA

I remember struggling with this one quite a while ago (never succeeded
though). The key lies in the condition to 'configure physical multicasting'
. Never figured it out.
