Ordinary users can use wvdial if pppd is suid root.

#which pppd
#chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd    (if that is your path)
#ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd       (check for rwsr-xr-x permissions)

For packets to go out the modem put "defaultroute" in the ppp
options file. (probably /etc/ppp/options)

Kppp can automatically put the "defaultroute" option in /etc/ppp/options
every time you use kppp.
In kppp setup select your account then "edit account => gateway => 
=> assign default route to this gateway"
