Arg! Your email system (or something) consistently mangles quoting. In
the above, it looks like you've written the questions that were asked by
Bill, and then you've responded.

What are the permissions on "/etc/wvdial.conf"?

Also, do you have a "/.wvdialrc" file in your home directory?

If all else looks right, rename "/etc/wvdial.conf" and run wvdial again;
what's the results? Depending on those results, you might want to
manually create a new "/etc/wvdial.conf" (without copy/paste, in case
there's a hidden character in the original or something else oddball).
