It's probably a routing problem. Do a route -n and see what is listed
under the gateway column, if it's not your ppp0 IP, then you'll need to
adjust the calls to pppd to make the changes to the route table.
For example, in kppp, make sure to add the argument replacedefaultroute
in the setup, and that default gateway and assign this route to gateway
are checked. I am afraid that I can not help with specifics on wvdial as
I don't use it. But the routing tables are the first thing that springs
to mind with this sort of problem.
