You don't have to use wvdial or any other dialer. You don't
need to be
logged in as root to do anythig but set it up. Read the man page for
pppd, and maybe the PPP Howto on tldp. PPPD can dial and dial-on-demand
by itself. I think the option may be 'demand'. If you make pppd setuid
root you can also use 'pppd call your-isp' as anybody once you set it up.
It's all well documented in the man/info pages.
Using "USERCTL=yes" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 should
it make it not necessary to set pppd setuid root.
