I've done that before on my other machine.. but with standard pppd and the debain pppconfig utility instead of wvdial.
in my /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0local (I made it myself for this purpose) goes something that looks like this: #!/bin/sh route del default route add default ppp0 Somehow, when PPP goes down, I think it magically gives back the default route.. because I don't have a script to do it in my ip-down.d.. Even on my powerbook, wvdial took a backseat to pppconfig.. Hope I could help..
