As you say, PPP doesn't let you append extra servers to what it receives automatically. Your best recourse then is to find out the IP numbers of your ISPs DNS machines -- either by consulting the ISP's documentation or web site, by asking their support team or by looking at the results obtained by running PPP with 'enable dns'. Then make sure your ppp.conf does not overwrite your /etc/resolv.conf on connection, and just edit resolv.conf to insert the IP numbers you've discovered. A static resolv.conf will serve you well enough. After all, it's not like your ISP will be changing their DNS servers every few hours.
