It could be that you need to set up /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. There
is sometimes another file, something about chap, that I don't use.
Perhaps you need it too. Have you tried looking in /usr/share/doc/ppp ?
You mentioned other distros. Perhaps you can compare
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets on those distros to the one in your Debian
installation.
I don't know either what does 'pid of ppd: (###)' signifies. However
it could be the wvdial way of saying that pppd was launched.
