PPP does not require a dns server address to be provided.
But most folks do provide one because it would make for LOTS of support
calls to not hand out your DNS servers.
Is there a DNS on the network that your connecting to at all?
If not then you wll likely be forecd to use the /etc/hosts file to add
in the IP addresses of the target systems.

Hey - we've got a fun little problem happening right now.
We're connecting a Linux box via LTE to a client's private network.
They want us to connect to a host on that network and upload files via
sftp. We've demonstrated that all of this works with every other LTE
network, but in their walled garden LTE network, they're not returning
any DNS server, so we can't find the host at all. This network does
not have access to public DNS.
Does one usually have to poke a ppp connection a little more to get
useful routing information, or should we have "just got" all the
gateway and DNS details on first connection?

finding one and paying for support)
