Is the error something like "no prompt detected starting ppp anyway" in the
system message log?
My ISP does that no and then and I assume its just the server being slow.
Unfortunately I have found no way to configure wvdial to wait longer. -
Probably could find the timeout value in the source and recompile though.
I had to do a few thing to get wvdial to work - just seeing if you've done
something similar.
