Don't think you really need ppp-pam unless you are allowing dial-in
access. It should be in Section "net", Package "ppp-pam".
Don't know why wvdial is recommended. Sure, it works okay, but
pppconfig with pon/poff is more flexible and doesn't hang around in the
foreground like wvdial. Who want to have to do:
$ wvdial > /dev/null 2>&1 &
just to run it in the background.
