But I don't want to use something that uses kppp, it's overkill.
I want to use a simple command line program such as wvdial.

I don't agree, I have no "# ppp temp entry" in /etc/resolv.conf after
Mandrake installation.
If I use wvdial to connect, that won't work.
It works currently only with something that uses kppp.
Try with wvdial, it's very simple to configure.

Yes, it breaks config by hand, so I'm right "that it doesn't work
currently" ;)
Quite good solution.
You would use something like this :
if [ -n "$USERPEERDNS" ]; then
[ -n "$DNS1" ] && \
echo -e "nameserver $DNS1 $PPP_TEMP_ENTRY" >> /etc/resolv.conf
[ -n "$DNS2" ] && \
echo -e "nameserver $DNS2 $PPP_TEMP_ENTRY" >> /etc/resolv.conf
fi
But USEPEERDNS test isn't needed IMHO.
If it isn't set, DNS1 and DNS2 aren't set.
Though USEPEERDNS makes the script easier to understand :)
