minicom wouldn't have a problem with name resolution, since it never does
any. As to the problem you are experiencing with fetchmail ... how does your
workstation make a ppp connection to the Internet? It sounds like it is not
set up to autodial, resulting in the nameserver addresses in
/etc/resolv.conf being unreachable (unless you started ppp menually before
doing this).
If you want real advice, though, you're going to have to provide a more
detailed description of your setup.
