I think the modem is configured, because I can dial up.  wvdial reports  
the connection and the dynamic IP address assigned by my ISP when the  
connection is made.  I don't want anything to happen to my static IP nic  
setup for the lan connection in the process of getting the TCP/IP over  
modem working.

Ok, I tried what you said.  It erased the other numbers I had in my  
wvdial.conf file.  I don't know if it had any other side effects.

I got (and was getting) a dynamic IP address from my ISP when wvdial  
connected.
I could ping that IP adddress, but I could not ping the other IP address  
mentioned, nor could I ping my ISP by using the domain name.

Here's the result of running wvdial:

Ok, now I switch to another terminal.
I can ping 63.246.194.110, but I can't ping 63.246.194.250; it just hangs.

Here's the message log for the period
