Debugging EIGRP packets or hellos with service timestamps debug datetime will show you the frequency they're coming in at. I'm not sure if EIGRP requires exact parameters like OSPF does for neighbors to form relationships. Nothing here at work to try it on. 'sh ip eigrp timers' (hidden) will give you an idea of your sending frequency. I think it behaves more like RIP, where as long as the dead time isn't exceeded, the neighbor stays a neighbor (no, I'm not saying that RIP has neighbors either :) I'm just doing this from memory, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong...
