================================================
Please don't give me too much credit. Actually /etc/resolv.conf is a
fairly simple file. If edited properly, you need not even add the dns#'s
to kppp. Once on line, in the absence of other info, the domain and dns
lines in resolv.conf take it from there.
Glad it worked out for you!!
Take Care,
Michael
