man wvdial and man wvdial.conf

 Stupid Mode
              When  wvdial is in Stupid Mode, it does not attempt
              to interpret any prompts from the terminal  server.
              It  starts  pppd  immediately  after the modem con­
              nects.  Apparently there are  ISP's  that  actually
              give you a login prompt, but work only if you start
              PPP, rather than logging in.   Go  figure.   Stupid
              Mode is (naturally) disabled by default.


smpppd uses wvdial to connect, it just doesn't use /etc/wvdial.conf, it 
creates its own wvdial.conf based on values in the provider file.
