it's still a terminal emulator. the dial function was added because
one primary use of terminal emulators was BBS.

minicom will not speak ppp for you and thus will not authenticate you.
and wvdial is cumbersome and too complex - i never get it to work
right. in any case, if you persist, then make sure that you have the

furthermore, try "Stupid Mode" for wvdial.conf (man wvdial.conf)
