Here's a transcript of what happens when I use wvdial:
------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wvdial /etc/wvdial.conf
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
--> Warning: section [Dialer /etc/wvdial.conf] does not exist in
wvdial.conf.

Also, note that the ppp0 interface is created but never connects:

I used wvdial because I am not actually at the box. Instead I've
ssh'ed into it via the NIC and then ran wvdial from the terminal.
