IPX Config & Routing Difficulty

Greetings -

Anyone with some experience routing IPX through PortMaster products
care to take a look at the captures below from a pair of OR-HS routers
and see if you recognize a configuration problem?

I'm having trouble getting IPX to work properly, although IP routes
fine.

The hub office is "silverado-router" which contains IPX network 12345
(plus another network which isn't of interest). The frame relay net
is set for C0000FF. The remote office "ksqr" contains nothing but a
hub and single workstation. OS is Netware 3.12, frame type 802.3, and
the remote network # 1420. See below for details.

>From the "show IPXroutes" it seems that we can see routes from one
side, but not the other. Hmm.
