Hello Linux friends,

when I dial to my ISP using my Linux box, is it possible to receive the
DNS server automatically, just like Windows users do?

I read at the PPP Howto and ppp man that pppd doesn't do that.  And I
wonder: WHY NOT?  Is it that hard?   I've searched for this question in
many archives and also from altavista, but I found no answer.

In this specific situation, I can not set the "/etc/resolv.conf" file
manually.  It really has to be done automatically (it can be added to
resolv.conf using a script or whatever).

I always like to think that "everything is possible with Linux", so it
must be possible. ;-)

Are there other choices to do dialup connections with Linux other than
pppd?  (console apps that is).


Thanks,

Henrique Pantarotto
