ppp woes!!

[Jiger Java]

Hi Peter,
          Thanks for your help. I already have this line in ppp.conf(and I 
commented out this morning). I read in the handbook(I think) that this will 
use DNS servers from resolv.conf. But I want any kind of local(hosts, 
resolv.conf, local named) etc to be disabled and just use/get the DNS, 
gateway etc from my ISP.
  Just to help you to help me more :), my ISP does not show "login" in the 
terminal window so I guess he wants me to connect via PAP/CHAP. I have that 
configured via KPPP and ppp.conf reflects that but wonder why the connection 
is not established. I have configured tun0 and tun1, modem is proper(since 
KPPP can dial out) etc. Do I need to make ppp.link* files. I don't have them 
right now. I can send you my complete config. info if you want. Please guide 
me, I am really stuck.

Thanks,
Jiger
