No man/info wvdialconf says
It is safe to run wvdialconf if a configuration file
already exists. In that case, only the Modem, Baud, Init,
and Init2 options are changed in the [Dialer Defaults]
section, and only if autodetection is successful.

You can type wvdialconf /dev/null to test the configuration. This program
tests all ttySx devices of Your computer.

odd- the first time i tried your suggestion
(wvdialconf > dev null)
i clicked new messages in netscape's email and dial-on-demand found my
modem and dialed it correctly. that was the last and only time it
worked...

Delete /dev/modem and try..
wvdialconf /dev/null

the man page for null shows
DESCRIPTION
Data written on a null or zero special file is discarded.
Reads from the null special file always return end of
file.
I thought I made my point clear.. now I am confused..
