RE: [ale] DHCP Invocation for PPPHI, I use Avana for my dial-up. What I
recommend you to do is to set up your own caching DNS server on your linux
box and point /etc/resolv.conf to 127.0.0.1 or your local ethernet card's
address. I just ignored what they said in that message about the change.
Also, have you tried talking to the guys at Avana about your situation?
they seem to be linux savvy.

Malcom -
MS*- I had similar problems and settled on using ddup, MS- this little
utility goes out gets your dynamic ip MS- address (from MS- ifconfig, I
think) and sends it MS- to dyndns.org. Works fine for me, ...

Thanks for the information, but this still doesn't sound like the beast I
need. My ISP (Avana.net) has told me to acquire the name of _their_ DNS
dynamically. My IP _is_ assigned dynamically, but that is no change, nor any
problem to me. My problem is knowing the IP of Avana's currently active
_nameserver_, so it can be placed in '/etc/resolv.conf' or some analog.
