Sorry, but I don't want to use drakconnect, it uses kppp ...
I want to use wvdial and I don't understand why there should be a line
"# ppp temp entry" in /etc/resolv.conf

Ok, but why to do this ?
When should this happen ?
kppp writes /etc/resolv.conf after /etc/ppp/ip-up is run and I guess it
deletes its entries before /etc/ppp/ip-down is run.
I don't know any other soft that writes "# ppp temp entry" entries.
