Second Portmaster not seeing First. STILL

Ok heres something I happened upon and it's frustrating me.

I have a First Portmaster 2E20+BRI and a Second Portmaster 2E10.
The BRI circuits on the First are running to subnetted /27 networks.
Both Machines are running ComOS 3.5, both are on the Same Class C network
ala:

PM1

---
Dialups: xx.xx.12.66-86
BRI's:
	xx.xx.14.64/27 via xx.xx.14.65 


ether0: xx.xx.12.65
Default Gateway: xx.xx.12.32


PM2:
Dialups: xx.xx.12.100-
ether0: xx.xx.12.63
Default Gateway: xx.xx.12.32


Both boxes have the xx.xx.xx.12 255.255.255.0 in the netmask table.


I've also tried using the netmask tables for the xx.xx.14.xx/27 networks
in both boxes despite using comos3.5 and VLSM.


The problem:
-------------
Now what happens is that when people dial into the second PM they cannot
see the networks passed throught the dedicated circuits on the first.


I've tried rip on and off and adding static routes in the Second PM : Both
Rip and static generated xx.xx.14.0/27 207.107.12.65.


I can properly ping the subnetworks from the 2nd' PM's console but not
from an assigned address of it' pool.




Besides the obvious mess my topology is in can anyone see the problem.
The second PM shows the proper default route to xx.xx.12.32 etc and
I can ping the BRI networks from the second PM but not from dialups on the
second PM.


Help appreciated.
