Pppconfig creates a file in /etc/ppp/resolv for each provider for which 'static' has not been selected, putting whatever nameservers you give it there unless 'dynamic' is selected. When a connection comes up resolv.conf is moved out of the way and the appropriate file from /etc/ppp/resolv is put in its place. If the provider uses 'dynamic dns' and that choice has been selected in pppconfig the IPs sent by the provider are appended to it. Otherwise the file is used as-is. You can edit the files by hand if you wish. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
