I had a similar problem whenever I tried to use WvDial. I've never got
it to work yet on any of the distributions I've tried, including Warty &
Hoary. I currently use yawmppp and it's faultless.
I did get the Gnome dialler to work previously by using pon & poff but
on first use it gave me the same error that you've listed.
I found in my case, that I didn't have a symlink between /dev/ttyS0 (my
modem port- yours may be different), and /dev/modem. When I made the
link it worked fine, but was deleted every time I rebooted. I still
don't know why. I resolved the issue by referring directly to /dev/ttyS0
instead of /dev/modem in any scripts. Works fine now.

Can't help with that one, sorry.
