My problem has gone away, I suspect wvdial may have sent an unecessary init
string as Andy suggested, probably then my problem under Minicom was GUI
error (Gross User Incompetence) due to tiredness.
Possibly I'll see if I can reproduce the problem, so I know in future why it
occured, I can't at the moment.

PS. One curiosity, if you dail slightly the wrong number 0800, sometimes
something called vpop answers, and it seems to connect you with a different
prompt to the usual ntlworld one. As you still need a user/pass I don't see
any practical use for this...
