I've got a PM2e that is listening to RIP from another PM2e and then
distributing it into OSPF and it works fine (just one route though):

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ethernet Status: IP - Enabled IPX - Disabled

Interface Addr: gup-apm2.cia-g.com (206.206.162.3)
Netmask: 255.255.255.224
Broadcast Address: 206.206.162.31

IPX Network: 00000000
IPX Frame Type: ETHERNET_802.2
Ethernet Address: 00:c0:05:01:5c:ec

Routing: OSPF, RIP(Listen)
OSPF Accept RIP: on
OSPF Cost: 1
OSPF Hello Interv: 10
OSPF Dead Time: 40
Input Filter:
Output Filter:

Destination Mask Gateway Source Flag Met Interface
----------------- ---- -------------------- ------- ---- --- ---------
...
206.206.162.32 27 206.206.162.2 rip ND 2 ether0
...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Then my Cisco (same ethernet segment as the PM above) sees that route as
such:

Routing entry for 206.206.162.32 255.255.255.224
Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 3, type extern 2, forward

Redistributing via ospf 1
