No such updates are posted for Red Hat 8.
I checked each of the links and config files you suggested, and found
things to generally be in order. So I tried...
[root@Fred root]# wvdial <nickname>
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT<number>
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT<number>
CONNECT 52000/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Mon Aug 18 22:28:21 2003
--> pid of pppd: 1007
I don't see a confirmation of my login, but I assume it took place, or
I would expect my ISP would have hung up within a few minutes.
Still no joy as to reaching the net. Grasping at straws, I tried...

(After trying to ping various hosts local to my ISP, I again tried...)

(The modem was still active, and remained so until I whacked it and
got the wvdial process's attention, but nothing I did made the Tx/Rx
lights flicker.)
Thanks, John, for getting me this far. Any suggestion for what I
should try to actually get on the net, and how I can make this all
happen automagically?
Again, TIA
