There are a couple of groups that you need to add your users to. - "dialout" and "uucp".
Reading the message at the end of emerging wvdial tells you this. Also reading the ebuild gives you the same information. I am not criticising you, thiose messages flash by very quickly, and reading the ebuild is not everyone's first port of call, but if I educate one person to read the documentation and save one query to the list i guess my job is done :-) PS don't forget you have to log in again after you have been added to a group. and "id" is a good command to see what groups you are in.
