Now do the same again as normal user (i.e. without sudo) because as root 
you can already use wvdial. But you wrote that as a normal user you 
can't, so you need to know what groups permissions you have as a normal 
user. BTW: You should be in the dialout group instead of dip. I 
installed wvdial to check it and the file /etc/wvdial.conf is readable 
by the dialout group, not by the dip group.

Anyway, with my default group settings as the first user I am member of 
the dialout group but as a second user I'm not.
