Rubbish - we have no end of trouble with cisco routers and RIP for ages.
Tried to get RIP working between Digital Unix 3.2D2 and 4.0a and a large
number of Windows NT systems and other Unix and Apple Macs - NighTmare ( =
NT :-) )
In the end we dumped the Cisco's routers, rationalised to Class B addresses
and went to asante switches and used Unix to route everything else - fixed
it!
