This sounded promising, but no such luck I'm afraid. Assuming that
"LinuxConfig" is the same as "Linuxconf 1.16" which is reached through the
"DrakConf" utility in KDE, the only DNS entry to be found there is the same
as in the "kppp" thing, and it is only there because I entered it yesterday
just to see if this would help any in getting out on the 'net. It didn't.
