Don't know anything about wvdial sorry but if you can automate it's
operations from a shell script this is the sort of thing cron excels at,
something like this in your crontab should do the trick
0 8 * * * dialup.sh
0 18 * * * disconnect.sh

If wvdial can't do that it may be worth the effort to just set up pppd
yourself, I personally much prefer the control of doing it like that to
using a frontend.

Steve
