Well working with my ISP I finally resolved the wvdial/pppd issue. It 
turns out that when pppd was initiating the connection with my ISP the 
noipdefault option was NOT being set. For some reason I never noticed 
the log file entries:

Apr  8 19:55:50 nureyev pppd[7671]: local  IP address 192.168.1.1
Apr  8 19:55:50 nureyev pppd[7671]: remote IP address 209.60.72.6

Note the local IP address which is the IP address for eth0 interface and 
not the ppp0 interface. Clearly ppp could not be established between the 
local and remote hosts. When the noipdefault option was added to the 
pppd options file the local IP address was set to my ISP provided static 
IP address and then everything worked correctly. Why I never had this 
problem before my ISP changed terminal servers I do not know.
