Thanks Antonio and Rick
This is where I got to last night and this morning.
Have tried in both Fedora 16 and Ubuntu oneric. Ubuntu is on the student's
laptop.
sudo wvdial reports:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "telstra.internet"
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT*99#
--> Waiting for carrier.
CONNECT 21000000
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Sat Mar 3 09:21:43 2012
--> Pid of pppd: 1965
--> Using interface ppp0
--> Disconnecting at Sat Mar 3 09:21:45 2012
--> The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)
--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
--> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd man
pages for more information.
--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "telstra.internet"
OK
--> Modem initialized.
It then repeats the above a number of times.
^CCaught signal 2: Attempting to exit gracefully...
--> Disconnecting at Sat Mar 3 09:21:49 2012
I have tried both telstra.bigpond and telstra.internet, makes no
difference.

It sounds like you are making some progress at least. I came across this
while looking for more information:
Which basically says that the usb device address is incorrect and needs to
be changed.
Try using different USB device files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
The line of interest is MODEMPORT=/dev/ttyUSB3
See if maybe ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, or ttyUSB2 work instead (provided it is
using ttyUSB3).
