For instance, I've done this a lot in the lab to be able to ping everybody
w/o the use of a routing protocol.

                          A.1 172.1.1.x/29
                           | 102
                           |
                          B.2
                  302 / \ 402
                      C.3 D.4

Router A
interface s0
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay map ip 172.1.1.1 102 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 172.1.1.2 102 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 172.1.1.3 102 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 172.1.1.4 102 broadcast

Notice the use of the same DLCI for each spoke on the same subnet.
I even added a mapping to itself so that pings to itself will work (another
common question I see on groupstudy)

Wayne,

        I'm not sure what you mean. Post a config.

You can use either multiple dlcis or multiple static mappings for each
spoke router to the hub router to simulate a broadcast environment on a
partial mesh frame relay network. The p2p IS-IS hellos will be
replicated for each mapping at the link layer on multipoint interfaces.
