Don't think you really need ppp-pam unless you are allowing dial-in
access.  It should be in Section "net", Package "ppp-pam".

Don't know why wvdial is recommended.  Sure, it works okay, but
pppconfig with pon/poff is more flexible and doesn't hang around in the
foreground like wvdial. Who want to have to do:

	$ wvdial > /dev/null 2>&1 &

just to run it in the background.
