Luke,
Would you please:
1 copy /etc/wvdial.conf to wvdial.txt
2 edit wvdial.txt to remove or hide your password (make it ZZZZ for example)
3 send us the so edited wvdial.txt
Indeed the ppp log shows an attempt to logon as "user"
Is that the username given to you by your ISP?
With the file wvdial.txt I can possibly help you, but make sure to hide
your password before sending it out.

Hi
I installed the linuxant hfs driver for my connexant modem but am now
having problems when trying to dial out - I've been trying with both
wvdial and also kppp. The typical sort of *basic* error message I was
getting with kppp was like this:
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
when I looked at /var/log/messages I saw that pppd kept dying for some
reason (see attached varlogmessages.txt).
One weird thing I noticed is that pppd terminated with a signal 16 on
wvdial and a signal 15 on kppp.
Otherwise the problems with both of them seemed similar to me.
I have attached the kppp generated bugfile (PPP-logfile2.txt), the
wvdial log file (wvdial-logfile.txt) and also relevant sections from
/var/log/messages (varlogmessages.txt).
What could be going wrong with pppd?
Thanks,
Luke S
