We have two offices. My office has two T1 connections to the Internet. I've ordered Point-to-Point T1 (just the T1 port without Internet connection) to connect our other office to us and to the Internet.
I would like to subnet our class C IP like below:
198.78.142.1 255.255.255.128 (our office)
198.78.142.252 255.255.255.252 (For serial ports that are connecting our two offices)
198.78.142.128 255.255.255.192 (our other office)
I'm having a problem figuring out the "ip route" statements to accomplish the above:
IP route statement for my router here:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 4.0.240.121
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 38.99.199.153
ip route 198.78.142.128 255.255.255.192 198.78.142.254
IP route statement for our other office:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192 198.78.142.253
Are the above ip route statements correct?
Are the Serial configuration for connecting our two offices correct?

Looks good, having connectivity problems ?

Thanks for your reply.
Our Point-to-Point connection has not arrived yet. I'm getting the routers ready.
I wasn't sure if it was possible to subnet one class C address and use it in two locations:
198.78.142.1 255.255.255.128 (our office)
198.78.142.252 255.255.255.252 (For serial ports that are connecting our two offices)
198.78.142.128 255.255.255.192 (our other office)
I appreciate all your help - Thank you.

It is possible to subnet it like that.

Definitely possible and you've done a great job at ip address preservation :)

I agree with Edison, didn't see any problems with the route statements, nor with the address block usage.
PS:
Some other suggestions.
If your router's and LAN hardware can support it, move to full-duplex (or auto).
Recommend fair-queue instead of FIFO on all your serial links.
