The first (modem) section was set up when I added hardware via the "neat" program, the latter two (ISP specific sections) when I added https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2006-July/msg02174.html ISP dial-up details. They inherit from the modem section, and add their own modifications. I could shift common parts from them up into the modem section, but I never did. Setting things up via neat does configure /etc/wvdial.conf and other things, at the same time, for networking to work. I found that if I merely copied the wvdial.conf to another computer, with https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2006-July/msg02243.html the networking hardware already set up, dial-up didn't work. Not when using if-up followed by the ISP name, to dial-up, at least. The corresponding /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-example.com file needed to be set up, as well. What you actually configure, will depend on what method you use to connect. I've never played with wvdial directly, nor dial-up managed by KDE. Using neat (GUI tool) or neat-tui (curses based) sets things fine in my experience. If you go some other way, you have to manage it all yourself. I wouldn't set a dial-up connection to "activate at boot" (description from within neat). It tries to dial-up while the PC is booting, and doesn't succeed, for me. That's a potential for other problems, too, depending on how you pay for internet access.
