[c-nsp] Problem w/ Async Dial-Backup

I have a funny problem with an async dial backup ... routers are a 1800 
series with dual async HWIC, the other side is a 1700 with a modem on 
the AUX port ... (one side is in Mexico, no ISDN available, so I need to 
use Modem ...)

The PPP connection is set up correctly, one router can reach all boxes 
on the other side, the other router can't reach anything but the first 
router, and neither side's boxes can reach anything on the remote side ...

Any idea what could cause this?

I have "async default routing" in the config of both sides' async 
interfaces, "show ip route" shows the remote /24 to be connected via the 
dialer interface during Backup ...

Other than that, I believe I have all essential settings as listed in 
the cisco sample docs, e.g. 
http://cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080093d2b.shtml

Any hints/ideas welcome!
