On the routers you should not

use IP unnumbered to serial 0/0, since

if that interface goes down that address

may not be useable. You can apply the

address to a loopback interface, and let

the serial and dialer interfaces use it.

You shouldn't use the backup command

on both sides; if the line goes down, you

only want one end to initiate the connection;

otherwise, there is a chance that both

will try to call each other.

For that same reason, you should probably

only have one side with a phone number to

dial, to avoid contention with the dialing.
