How about that! Thanks for the tip.

I found everthing I needed for a complete PPP setup, including DNS
numbers at http://www.teledyn.com/products/FreeWWW/#config. While
this site is aimed mainly at Linux users, I found it much more
straightforward than the actual freewwweb site for a non-Windows
(i.e. DOS) set up.
Happy (free) surfing,
