Hey guys, I had an issue similar to this once and replacing the DTE/DCE serial cable solved the issue. It's rare, but sometimes we do have physical problems!

The timing seems off to me (20 seconds between up/down). I would expect 30
seconds if the keepalives were not working.

Check "show interface s0/0 | in Keep"

And you may also want to do a "debug serial interface" on both sides. Make
sure timestamps are on for your debugs as well, but watch the keepalives go
back and forth.

It's possible to be a physical thing as well. Perhaps a pin is bent or
something?
