Sorry folks, but I solved my problem. I was using a simplistic
null-modem with only three pins connected: 2-3, 3-2, 7-7. I replaced
it with a full store-bought one that connects all the pins, and hey
presto, it all works. I'm currently logged on via laptop on COM3,
dialling out to my ISP via COM4. It works great. 

My next step is to replace the laptop with my trust old Apple IIc.
That shouldn't be too much problem (famous last words). I've always
wanted to connect my Apple IIc to my Linux network, and now that goal
is within my grasp.

Regards

Henry
