If you haven't already, you might check the /etc/wvdial.conf file and
make sure your username and password are correct. Or like you say, you
can just keep using pon/poff; I personally like it a bit better because
you get your prompt back. What I don't like about it is that you don't
know if you're connected or not unless you plog or ping or something.
BTW anyone, why doesn't adding a normal user to the dip group give him
the capability to plog to see if he's connected?
