I've been plunking around with this. I tried what may be a brute
force method: change the permissions of /dev/ttyS14. But
/dev/ttyS14 is a link to /dev/tts/14. I now see that is a devfs
rendering? I thought I do not have support for devfs, and I am
trying to use something else.
Anyway, is it
Ok: success! After changing the permissions a a BUNCH of files,
and ownerships, and even generating new groups (ppp), finally, when I
changed the ownership of /etc/wvdial to root:dialout, the setup works!
Isn't that always the way? When I finally have posted and given up, a new option occurs to

Well, I use ppp and the comand pon and poff. It
works pretty well.
emerge ppp and then config with pppconfig. To
connect, pon, to
disconnect, poff. That would be as root, there
should be a way to make
users do it though. I'm not sure how.
$sudo /usr/sbin/pon(poff) provider-name

I haven't tried setuid for the wvdial binary. I have joined the
users to the groups dialout and uucp. I have also changed the
owner of various binaries to include users, including wvdial. I
followed someone's advice on the Inet and set pppd setuid for the group
ppp which I also joined all users

There are a couple of groups that you need to add your users to. -
dialout and uucp.
Reading the message at the end of emerging wvdial tells you this. Also
reading the ebuild gives you the same information.
I am not criticising you, thiose messages flash by very quickly, and
