Bridging across a T1 - Need some advice

I need some help with this. I provide some consulting for an organization and they have a T1 link configured between two locations. There was a 1601 router at each location and a verilink csu/dsu at each location connecting to a full T1.

Each router was setup and configured to bridge the network across so everything is flat. One of the verilink csu / dsu up and died so we installed a T1 cards in both 1601 routers and configured the T1 settings. The t1 comes up but a real weird problem occured. So I want to provide the router config for each location and would appreciate any help with understanding what may be incorrect.

Oh forgot about that..one day they could get to the internet but not access everything on the remote lan, the following day they could access the remote lan but not the internet which does not make sense because all of the devices both on the bridged LAN and main lan use the 10.50.0.0/16 subnet.

some testing that we performed

What we confirmed:
1. We can still get to the internet from the Boyne office via a proxy server at CAH
2. We can remotely telnet to the Boyne router from the CaH router
3. We can ping from the CAH router to the Boyne router
4. A host on the boyne network can ping the Boyne router
5. The boyne router gets a late collision error when pinging the CaH router
6. No clients from inside the Boyne office can ping the CaH side.
7. No clients from inside the CaH office can ping the Boyne Office.

I'll have to ponder the rest, but the late collision indicates a duplex mismatch that needs to be corrected.
 
We did fix one error, at the boyne router, the IP address has been changed to 10.50.0.24

Regarding the pings that are failing, are they from hosts in the 10.50.x.x subnet on one side to hosts in the same subnet on the other side?
