You are correct that web browsing requires a DNS server. However, as I
understand it, many ISPs automatically assign your DNS server when you
connect.
Can anyone confirm this?
Of course, you can always enter a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf.
If you connect via the DHCP protocol the DNS servers will be set up
automatically by your ISP's DHCP server.. IF DHCP is not used, you
must enter them manually into kppp setup or /etc/resolv.conf (must be
done separetely on every machine on your local net, not only the gateway
machine). A phone call and your ISP will be glad to tell you all his
DSP IP dotted-quad addresses.
