Jim,
The instructions at www.bizmail.com.au are very clear (for Windows under
tab labelled "Help Center".
The line shown in your wvdial.conf listing,
Username = hce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
is exactly what you need.
What Marv meant was Username = bizmail/hce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
not in agreement with the directions from the ISP.
In my Linux box I can see
[root@localhost]/etc/ppp>cat chap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
####### redhat-config-network will overwrite this part!!! (begin) ##########
####### redhat-config-network will overwrite this part!!! (end) ############
and identical with PAP.
You write that the error is not always there, so since it also works
sometime the problem is elswhere.
The first cause to check would be a bad line quality.
What asyncmap set to FFFFFFFF does is to transmit non printable
characters as two characters which reduces the cause of error.
You did not report the speed (in message CONNECTED AT) reported by wvdial.
Perhaps the first thing you might do would be to reduce the maximal
allowed speed,
To do this add +MS=34 to the line
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 to become
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 +MS=34
if wvdial reported a speed higher than 33600 bauds
If the reported speed was lower or if +MS=34 does not help, try
+MS=32
This will either succeed or discard the hypothesis that the problem is
due to line speed.

Thanks Marvin, did you mean to try on "Username = bizmail/hce.com.au"?
Thank you.

RE: CHAP authentication failed
For CHAP identification it is sometimes necessary to replace LoginName
with
provider/LoginName inder Linux
For example if your provider is BIZMAIL, then try: BIZMAIL/LoginName

Hi Jacques,
Great, Jim.
So if I understand you correctly you compiled the source file and your
modem works , right?
Yes, I compiled the source file and the modem works. But the connection
is not stable, it sometime failed at authentication (please see
following log message). Like today, I actually tried 5 reconnections
before it was connected. Not sure if following wvdial.conf caused the
problem? Or should I change asyncmap to FFFFFFFF next time?
