vj=max-slots 16? make sure that's not an = sign, but a - (I assume it's a
typo)

576 has nothing to do with modem speed, it has to do with the maximum
packet size of your incoming/outgoing packets? Bigger ones have to be
fragmented by other routers, thus making things slower.
I've never used wvdial. I usually just run pppconfig, then pon/poff to
initialise and end my ppp connection.

It might have something to do with your kernel or your pppd. Newer
kernels might have better support for compression, routing and the like.
Same goes for pppd.
Sorry I can't help you that much.
