The frame-relay map command with the Broadcast keyword doesn't "make it work
as a broadcast network" The broadcast only signals to the router to forward
broadcasts on this interface. If you had a subinterface and had a
"frame-relay interface-dlci" those "broadcasts" would be automaticall sent.
Keep in mind that multicasts fall under the "Broadcast" keyword as well so
the hellos send to 224.0.0.5 need that keyword. If you have a neighbor
statement, you may be unicast hellos and therefor don't need the broadcast
keyword.
Try it with RIP version 2 for example, with and without the neighbor
statement and see what happens.

Hi, Group,
I just grabed some configuration from cisco website as below, but just don't
know why broadcast key-word is issued because that would make it work as a
broadcast network. Even if there is no neighbor command, the network should
work. Your clarification is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mac
