Looks like it a fix wasn't as complicated as I thought.  It turns out in
line 114 of gnome-ppp-wvdial.c it checks for the string "--> Starting
pppd".  But in out cases wvdial instead responds with "Don't know what
to do!  Starting pppd and hoping for the best."  So to fix it I changed
the line to just check for "Starting pppd".  Here's a diff of my change:

--- gnome-ppp-wvdial.c~ 2005-02-02 04:28:25.000000000 +0900

-       if (g_strrstr (line, "--> Starting pppd") != NULL) {
+       if (g_strrstr (line, "Starting pppd") != NULL) {
                gboolean minimize;
 
                minimize = gtk_toggle_button_get_active (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON 
(gnome_ppp.setup.minimize));

The developers might like something more specific though.

Hopes this helps.
