I believe the rule is point-to-point -> point-to-point or multi-point ->
multi-point

Hossam,

You are right on regarding ISIS over Frame-Relay. All routers need to
form adjacencies with all others on the link, and this cannot happen
between spokes. So normally you will want to use P-P subinterfaces, or
Multipoint with a single neighbor.

You might be able to get a multipoint hub to work, if the spokes are
different circuit types: what if the hub is L1/L2, one spoke is L1 and
the other spoke is L2? Then the spokes would not need an adjacency.
hmmmm..
