Can someone tell me where to begin looking for what needs to be fixed, so that I can choose to log on with the Linux machine as my connection to the internet?
The easiest way to configure this is to use the redhat-config-network script and use that to configure your modem. I typically like to do things by hand but for configuring a modem to work in a RH environment I find their script to be quick-and-easy.

I think the modem is configured, because I can dial up. wvdial reports the connection and the dynamic IP address assigned by my ISP when the connection is made. I don't want anything to happen to my static IP nic setup for the lan connection in the process of getting the TCP/IP over modem working.
Ok, I tried what you said. It erased the other numbers I had in my wvdial.conf file. I don't know if it had any other side effects.
I got (and was getting) a dynamic IP address from my ISP when wvdial connected.
I could ping that IP adddress, but I could not ping the other IP address mentioned, nor could I ping my ISP by using the domain name.
Here's the result of running wvdial:

Ok, now I switch to another terminal. I can ping 63.246.194.110, but I can't ping 63.246.194.250; it just hangs.
Here's the message log for the period
