I don't think tech-net is the right list for this query, but anyway:

"host unknown" means there is a problem with the DNS system, not with 
ppp.  (Don't know why pppd didn't work for you.  I had no problems 
once I finished digesting all the man pages.)  To fix it you most 
likely need to put the right entries into /etc/resolv.conf  Something 
like:

search abc.com
nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 1.2.3.5

Depends on what your ISP says their DNS servers are.
