I don't use wvdial or PAP so I may not be much help...
I thought you had intended to use AutoPPP. You will still see a
login prompt (computer1 doesn't yet know what's going to happen
on this connection) but computer2 should ignore it and start sending
PPP packets ({{}}}{ garbage).
Computer2 should send "user something" in /etc/ppp/peers/whatever
and there should be an entry for "something" in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.

It shouldn't send "suporte" at this point, but should start sending
PPP packets. In ppp (set up with pppconfig), you fall off the end
of the chatscript after expecting ogin:--ogin: and sending '' .

Here it seems to be trying to start ppp at the other end. (Actually
pppd would do this, but you're not privileged enough to run it.)
But the real point is that, if only computer2 were to send some
PPP, computer 1 would have responded to it.

It's too late. By logging in, you've missed your chance. So my guess
is that you truncate your wvdial script (is there such a thing) and
take out any user/password info you might be sending. In that way,
wvdial might start pppd at the correct time.
Then, it's all up to PAP. You'll be able to examine the logs again
to see if that works. Use debug, but I'd leave out kdebug 7 as
that's extremely voluminous.
