According to Synaptic (OK, I'm the GUI Kid) wvdial has ppp as a
dependency but not the other way around.  I do know there are two
different scripts each for connecting/disconnecting:
pon and pon.wvdial,
poff and poff.wvdial.

The wvdial ones hand off to wvdial, no surprise.  Regular pon and poff
seem to use the pppd.
