Hello Thomas, I am not using the app any more so at least it is not a problem to me. I would propose closing the ticket if nobody else is interested.
Thanks for your activity && Ubuntu OSS support!

The file wvdial.conf is used to specify the ID/pw for a dialup connection, however, the actual dialer refuses to dial if the Username and Password fields are intentionally left blank. This might be a problem for a lot of people, for instance, those using GSM cellphones to connect to the internet via GPRS (as in my case). In such cases, the phone used to dial the access number (*99# on most carriers/phones) is used to identify the user account, hence no ID/pw is needed. If any random ID/pw is set in wvdial.conf, the provider drops connection. If no id/pw is set, wvdial refuses to dial! Please allow specifically blank id/pw to be used. This was tested on Dapper, cannot test on Edgy yet.
