wvdial redial problem

[David Garamond <lists@zara.6.isreserved.com>]

I've been experiencing a strange problem with wvdial. Sometimes wvdial 
won't redial if the first attempt gets busy signal. Sometimes it does so 
by sitting still after printing ATDT08nnnnnnn (n is the actual phone 
number digits) without dialing anything. And some other times, it does 
so by printing ATDT08Xnnnnnn (where X is a literal "X") and just sitting 
still. Sometimes though, it redials fine. Any hint of what's going on in 
here?

PS: Sarge, wvdial 1.54.0, dialing as a normal (non-root) user which 
belongs to the "dip" and "dialout" group. Snippets of wvdial.conf (I 
usually invoke wvdial with "wvdial isp1"):


[Dialer defaults]
Phone = 0
Username = 0
Password = 0
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyS0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto DNS = no

[Dialer isp1]
Phone = 08nnnnnnn
Username = someuser
Password = somepass

[Dialer isp2]
Phone = nnn-nnnn
Password = someuser
Username = somepass

[Dialer isp3]
