Description of problem:
I'm using an old USR Sportster external modem. Initially ran
redhat-config-network and modem would not go "off hook" or dial
although LEDs indicated some communication from the system when I
attempted to dial. Ran wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf, it updated
wvdial.conf and modem works. Attempted to revise configuration using
redhat-config-network. It overwrites the wvdial.conf file incorrectly
and the modem no longer dials.

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf adds:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem

redhat-config-network eliminates the above section and it seems to be
required.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-network 1.3.10

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run redhat-config-network, change config and save it, modem dial
fails with "error 8"
2.Run wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and modem dials
3.Run redhat-config-network, change config and save it, modem dial
fails with "error 8"
    

Actual Results:  Modem failed to dial and configuration file was
incorrectly modified.

Expected Results:  redhat-config-network shouldn't damage my
wvdial.conf file ! :-)
