First of all, let's do one thing at a time. fetchmail won't work (nor will
DNS, or much of anything else Internet related)) unless you can establish a
PPP coonection. In a prior message you said ...

... so I assumed (as did others, no doubt) that you had PPP working.
SO ...
1. IF you want help with PPP, tell us your actual setup. Telling us
you "ran" pppconfig doesn't give us a clue if you did it right or not. Be
less terse. Let us see the script that pppconfig creates, or tell us how you
answered each question it asks.
2. IF you want help with fetchmail, start your PPP connection by
hand (which you said you could do), try fetchmail then, and if it doesn't
work, tell us how. Include the output of "ifconfig -a" and "route -n" (all
of it, not just a summary of twhat you see as important) with any such posting.
But don't muddle the two problems together.
