If routed does not receive a relpy, it assumes the link is dead and deletes the route. My guess is some strangeness with aliases is causing the route to come and go. You have to run RIP via routed or gated to see the routes to your dialups. If all the interface addresses are on the same subnet, run routed with -q. If you are running multiple subnets on the same Ethernet the best bet is to add static routes in the Portmasters to the subnets.
