>From what you have written it seems that the moment you connect, the peer
is starting ppp negotiation BEFORE authenticating. For this, you should
add the following line in the /etc/wvdial.conf file.
Stupid Mode = 1
That should do it. When Stupid mode is activated authentication is done
AFTER ppp negotiation starts. Wvdial will then not wait for "Waiting
for promt....". And in most of the CHAP authentication, this is the way
authentication is done. Me feels it should work for you if you are sure
that MTNL uses CHAP authentication. It works for me for Dishnet which uses
CHAP authentication.
One more thing, if you are connecting as non-root user then see that you
have read permission to /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial file.
