Yes, if I delete that line then it works fine. Upon rebooting I see
that /etc/resolv.conf which is a sym link to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf gets
updated:
michael@manchester-campaigns:~$ file /etc/resolv.conf;ls
-lt /etc/resolv.conf /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
/etc/resolv.conf: symbolic link to `ppp/resolv.conf'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55 Aug 16 15:30 /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 4 09:26 /etc/resolv.conf ->
ppp/resolv.conf
which I think is something/where/how related to the old speedtouch
scripts I ran to use the Speedtouch USB modem.
I'll investigate. thanks, Michael
