Here's a solution you may not like! If all else fails, connect to
ukonline using Windows using their CD/helpline. Then copy the settings
from dialup networking.
Tee hee... that's how I connect to them at the moment!
It does seem to be the case that pppconfig has created the same
settings for Linux as dialup networking has for Windoze. In both,
dynamic DNS is set.
I can set dynamic DNS in dialup networking and it works, but in
pppconfig, it doesn't. And Windoze being what it is, that "Server
Types" tab is all you get. There's no human-readable file behind it
somewhere to pull extra settings out of.
Now, I can surf with waitrose (static), but not ukonline (dynamic); if
I retrieve the IP address of a page while in waitrose, then kill
waitrose and bring up ukonline, I can read the page, so most of it's
working, just the dynamic DNS is dead.
