You can try to get them yourself. Most ISP's have domain/host-names to
their DNS-servers, like ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com or
dns1.domain.com and dns2.domain.com. ns.domain.com and dns.domain.com
may also work. Try to get them with nslookup in WinXP or use the servers
I'm using to get them. host ns1.domain.com 62.101.193.44 for example in
FreeBSD. winipconf or ipconf in WinXP should also work. I don't know if
kppp reads /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, but if so, you can add "enable dns" under
"default:".
