Sorry to polute this site with Windows stuff but I thought the problem might
be relevant to users of the group as not all ISPs are linux friendly.
Anyway, I have solved my problem simply by going to Control Panel>Internet
Options>Connections and selecting 'Connect to the Internet using a LAN' and
the problem went away. Pity I couldn't find that before. Thanks to Denis
Voitenko for the tip.
Now I just need to workout how to remove Windows .....

I am using it this way. The tip is that the connect script returns just
after it receives "CONNECT" string from modem (with exit code of 0, I
think). Diald will then start pppd, and pppd will authenticate with PAP or
CHAP, depending what is needed. Of course, there must be pap or chap secret
files. As an example, here is my connect script in attachment (which is
somewhat non-standard because I have modem with stupid STOP! answer).
