Re: ppp- and dns-problem
For your netstat -r command to work it must be able to resolve to DNS. wvdial on't setup your DNS when it starts PPP. You have to make sure your /etc/resolv.conf file reflects to appropriate DNS info for the connection you're making. Here's what it should look like:
# /etc/resolv.conf
domain plstn1.sfba.home.com # optional
search plstn1.sfba.home.com. com.
nameserver 24.1.80.33
nameserver 24.1.80.33
I switch out this file for the different networks I work from.
