You were absolutely right. I found the culprit as a stale pid /var/run/pppd.tdb. Deleting this file brought up my modem right away. Got the location while looking through /usr/share/doc/ppp-X.X.X/scripts/ppp-off. Now, coming back to the original problem, how do I disconnect from the internet after I have logged in through wvdial ?
