The pppd files are in the 'dip' group. Did you change them?

That's weird.

I'm also using pppd-2.3.6 and I can run pon as a user with no trouble and
no .ppprc.
Have you tried setting up ppp with pppconfig and using pon and poff? I
know you want to use wvdial, but that might give you some diagnostic
information.
I don't understand why Avery wants you to use 'local'. That turns off use
of the modem control lines.
