I think I'm going to give up on that machine for now. I connected the dynalink to my normal desktop machine, with, again, identical configuration, and it worked without a hitch. (OK, this time not the identical software, since I run sid on this machine.) The US Robotics 28800 modem I have, doesn't want to talk to the gateway machine. (It doesn't respond as required to the AT* commands sent to it.) However, plug that modem into the laptop, and again, no problems. So I now believe it must be something else, e.g. serial problems, not modem/ppp configuration. I will maybe investigate the problem more some other day, in the mean time I'm going to dial with my sid box. Thanks, all.
