Hi,
Copying files like that is definitively not a good idea. I don't know wvdial
very much but I think that it put informations in other files. So:
1st idea: Why don't you configure wvdial with tools provided by Debian (on
installation)
2nd idea: Better use pppconfig to get rid of wvdial that I don't like. So
1) pppconfig for configuration
2) pon to dial-up
3) poff to cut the line
Don't forget to subscribe the user for dialout and dip groups.
