I can run my PPP script manually, but diald keeps saying "Peer is not authorized to use...". Why?

Adding the pppd "noauth" option should fix this.  It's an annoying
security "feature" that activates when, among other things, there
is a default route to a LAN.  The --remotename ppp0 wvdial option in
the diald configuration might also cause it, but I don't know whether
wvdial passes that to pppd as the pppd option "remotename ppp0" or not.
