Well, I am sincere about wanting Debian to do the job for me. You are
correct that some folks, including John Hasler, asked me for details
privately. I agree that it would be better to do the whole thing on
the list in case others have suggestions or have similar problems that
can be solved by the interchange.
I reported what I had seen in my earlier messages (pon does nothing
and says nothing; wvdial seems to log on OK, but then dies with an
Error #1). I had run pppconfig. But you've mentioned some information
above that I did not supply, and I'll try to provide that in a later
message.

Sure, I'm open to anything. The attraction of wvdial was that it
provides a running report of what it's doing, so I thought it would be
better for diagosis. wvdial has worked well under Corel Linux, too.
I'll report back on the modem strings... well, if they're different,
I'll change Debian's so that it's the same as Corel's.
