In setting up the fresh machine I put this in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
*       dalton1  ""      *
Should have revised to this when the previous machine was replaced.
*       dalton  ""      *

All the documentation in the world can't replace human memory.

So Tapio, a null modem still works.  Start with the simplest configuration 
and check all the details.  Then work your way up to your objective.
