I've done both now. I discovered that pppd writes two dns numbers 
into /etc/resolv.conf each time it connects and takes them out again 
each time it disconnects. In SuSE I was able with YaST to set 
MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF to "no". I then wrote the two dns numbers:

nameserver 195.186.1.110
nameserver 195.186.4.110

into /etc/resolv.conf so that they are now there permanently.

However, the behaviour of wwwoffle is still the same. I still get 
"cannot open connection to xy on port 80".

>Have you tried a different port number? Like 9081 or 8082.

I did try 8081 to no avail. I still don't understand what these ports 
mean. I only know the 8080 which wwwoffle seems to be using and 631 
which CUPS uses. I don't understand why wwwoffle wants to use port 80 
and fails, nor what I should do about it. What is special about 9081 
or 8082? Is there a good (newbie) reference on "ports" available?

Thanks for your answers!
