You can't with ppp-2.3.3 . The way it's usually done is to get the DNS IP
address from the ISP and configure /etc/resolv.conf, read "man resolver" to
find out how. Another way would be to use bootpc, provided that the ISP
runs bootp. A third way is to upgrade to ppp-2.3.7 which can do what you
want using Microsoft's perversion of IPCP with an application-level
service, read the 2.3.7 man pages to find out how.
In an effort to encourage you to do this the right way here's a couple of
nameservers for tabmaster.com, if that's your ISP:
205.178.159.134
205.178.138.137

Someone that knows RH's ways will have to take over here, I have no idea
how RH's networking scripts work.
