When I had two accounts, I had a ``setdns'' script which is called from the relevant profiles in ppp.conf. I did this because I have a local DNS with a ``forwarder'' to the relevant ISP DNS. Alternatively, with the latest ppp, you can try using ``enable dns'' in your ppp.conf file. If your ISPs will tell you what their nameserver IPs are automatically, ppp will update /etc/resolv.conf for you. You can get the latest ppp via http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
