Most people don't run ISIS over partial mesh point to point Frame links.

You must match network types for adjacencies to form. Until very recently
(and maybe not in the lab) Cisco hasn't provided a knob to override network
type selection (ie ip ospf net type) This is a canned answer because its
the only one.

There really isn't much complexity to it. Point to point sub-interfaces or
Point to Point interfaces in general use point to point hellos for
adjacency formation, and physical multi-access interfaces and point to
multipoint use LAN hellos. You need to pick versions on each side that
match..
