Thanks.  dnsmasq can provide dns, dhcp and possibly 
even ip masquerading.  I installed dnsmasq and removed 
dhcp3-server and ipmasq.

Now I find that /etc/resolv.conf is not updated when ppp 
connects.  Ie. two nameserver addresses are in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf 
but /etc/resolv.conf remains empty and names are not 
resolved.

I'm baffled.  I've never changed a script under /etc/ppp/.
Can anyone suggest what might be preventing the update 
of /etc/resolv.conf or mention a log which will shed some light?

Thanks,             ... Peter E.
