I don't know if the drivers have gotten better but when I used
dial-up internet access with Linux several years ago, I had to
get an external modem that I found in the Hardware Compatibility
List (US Robotics, I think) before I could connect. I spent many
hours trying to configure several Winmodems and never succeeded.
Once I switched to a modem that was documented as being Linux
compatible, it was easy.

Do you have the following nameservers on /etc/resolv.conf?

nameserver 69.72.0.7
nameserver 209.163.108.78

You might need to add lines to wvdial.conf like 

Stupid Mode = yes

What is your ISP so I can try to determine the best settings?
Do you do an 
# ifconfig eth0 down
before you try to connect.

You can also read more at LinModems Resource Page, look at the postinstall/wvdial sections.
