I have successfully been able to dial my ISP and log in.  PPP goes into
packet mode as expected.

I am doing this all manually until I am comfortable with the
process--i.e.:
ppp
set line /dev/cuaa1
set speed 14400
set timeout 0
term
atdt <phonenumber>
... (after logging in) ...
PPP ON > delete all
PPP ON> add default HISADDR

I then switch over to another session and am able to PING the ISP's DNS
(204.246.1.20).

However, I cannot PING anything else--i.e. PING ftp.freebsd.org
I get an error that there is no host route and it can't resolve the host
name.

Here is the output of netstat -rn:
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif
Expire
default            204.246.15.105     UGSc        0        0      tun0
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0       32       lo0
204.246.15.105     204.71.148.187     UH          1        0      tun0

What do I need to do for the host names to be resolved to IP addresses
?  Do I need to install named ?
Where does the ISP's DNS address fit in?  The gateway appears to be the
ISP's side of the connection (204.246.15.105), but where (or does) the
ISP's DNS need to be specified somewhere (204.246.1.20)?

I also have NOT set up any of the ppp files (ppp.conf, ppp.linkup,
etc.).

HELP!--FreeBSD newbie.

Thanks,
Jeff Fritsche
