Patrick, I haven't used wvdial on Ubuntu
But the 'permission denied error' makes me think you need to
try running it as 'sudo wvdial'

The 'CONNECT' message is from your modem, and says it's talking
to the modem at your ISP.  The 'hoping for the best' thing is normal
with my ISP too...

Post the whole log again after trying it with sudo....
