make wvdial display pppd debug messages, or use pon/pff with
pppconfig, adding the line debug to /etc/ppp/peers/<your provider>.

then, add

local2.*                            -/var/log/ppp.log

to /etc/syslog.conf,

killall -HUP syslogd

and establish a connection while monitoring /var/log/ppp.log. report
anything that looks like an error.
