I don't think that #1 or #2 will have any effect in this particular 
problem.

Typically, you write the password too inside the wvdial conf file, so that 
connection is fast and automatic.

Could you try to lift a phone from the house, to see if the line is still 
active after being told to hang? I mean, tell the modem to hang, then lift 
another phone and listen if you hear a dial tone or strange beeps and 
screeches.
