I am falling into the same camp here but with slightly different, but still
unsatisfactory results.  Until I put a domain name and nameserver IP
addresses in resolv.conf I was getting the DNS error also.  Once I entered
the domain name and nameserver addresses into the resolv.conf I no longer
get the DNS error, the status bar in Netscape states that it is trying to
connect to www.foo.com, and then it just hangs there.  I can't "stop" from
from the tool bar and can only terminate the browser by "kill"ing the pppd
process.  While pppd is running I get a result from ifconfig -a showing an
address both locally and at ppp0, but cannot ping anything.  BTW I am
getting similar behavior using a ppp-on script when trying to access a
worldnet.att.net account which uses chap and the ppp-on script as specified
at www.wurd.com/wurd/software/dialers/linux.html or by using xisp to get to
an account I have with pacbell.net.

Thanks for any advise,
Eric
