I like wvdial too, but there seems to be one quirk in using it with sudo
I never figured out. /etc/wvdial.conf must be readable only by root, or
else the whole world could see the login password at the ISP. One can
give individuals sudo authority to run wvdial, but then the contents of
wvdial.conf are still closed off, so it would fail. Can anyone suggest
how to set sudo to give specific non-root users authority to run wvdial?
