This isn't a shell script....
I'd suggest putting a space before the ``\\dATDT'' in your login
script - enabling chat logging would have shown this (this is
probably the most commonly made mistake - I really should stress this
more in the FAQ).
Also, change ``set if addrr '' to ``set ifaddr '', change the ``add
default 204.215.84.1'' to ``add default HISADDR'' and write
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup as per the docs.

The nameservers are specified in /etc/resolv.conf (man 5 resolv.conf).

Ah, you'll get used to it ;-)
