Yes. It was indeed a matter of an init script. In case someone else is
interested, I'll explain what I have found.
The instructions of the Speedtouch/Gentoo page are not sufficient. The
part about writing a file /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 with the contents
PEER="speedtch" is all right. But the command
rc-update add net.ppp0 default
refers not to the net.ppp0 above, but to a Gentoo init script that one
has to write and place in /etc/init.d:
=================================================
#/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 init script
#!/sbin/runscript
start() {
pppd call speedtch
}
=================================================
With this in place, Speedtouch gets launched at boot.
Thanks very much, Mr Benton, for your attention to this case.
