Package: wvdial Version: 1.54.0-1.1 wvdial was working fine until I added some sections to the configuration file. Then it started to display erroneous messages from pppd like "pppd: mote Name". Now /etc/wvdial.conf contains "Remote Name" which is where the "mote Name" comes from. If I remove all the added sections (for alternative phone numbers) except the first added one for "pas", it works OK.
I've made other modifications and as a result, other strings from the conf file occur after pppd:. But I just don't have time to do a lot of tests. Here's my wvdial.conf followed by the messages from giving the command: wvdial. Note that I've changed the password for this email.
