okay, it's nothing to do with speedtouch (sorry steve) since I've update-rc.d remove speedtouch but somehow /etc/ppp/resolv.conf is being created at boot time with correct nameservers but an empty search string... any ideas? something to do with /etc/ppp/ip*d/0000usepeerdns but I've no idea how/when they are used and why?!?
