No need to use 'wvdial'.
ppp-go -d
will dialout on demand under ppp-2.3.11 and ppp-2.4.0. You would need
to edit /etc/ppp/options.demand to include
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
0.0.0.0:10.10.10.10
demand
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/pppscript"
idle 120 # disconnect after 2 minute idle
in addition to your normal /etc/ppp/options.
