I have finally gotten my ppp connection up. However, that is all I have...
I get the message PPP connected ppp0 <---> /dev/tty00 or whatever, and then
30 seconds later I get LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests. Any ideas? I
think it's logging in ok and connecting fine, but it dies somewhere shortly
thereafter.

Where do I add routing info for the connection? When ppp connects I try to
ping the dns (I know it won't work) and I get the response that route to
address unknown or something. How do I add that route to my internet
provider? The manpages are kind of programmer targeted. What should I do
with the /etc/hosts and /etc/networks files? I've seen mention of them, but
nothing usable.

Also, as a side-note, I have prepared my /etc/resolv.conf as follows:

nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Is this the correct syntax? I looked it up in the manpage, but I could be wrong.

Thanks!
