First off, I hope you're not using minicom to connect to your isp ;) There are many helpful ppp programs out there, such as pppsetup that you can use. Second, you might want to check your /etc/resolv.conf and make sure 'search' and 'nameserver' are filled with the appropriate info. I think you might also have to put this into /etc/rc.config. As far as the dial on demand stuff, there is a program called diald which does this....it is a tad difficult to set up though. It comes with SuSE.....
