Good :)

note that this will probably fail if the pin was already sent.

Nope, you might get some clues if you rebuild pppd with debugging
enabled (add "#define DEBUGALL 1" to pppd.h should do). You might get
it to connect a few seconds faster if you can tweak something to avoid
this, but I don't think it will be causing any other problems.

Personally I'm happier to use 127.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8 or 208.67.222.222
than a typical consumer ISP/telco's DNS server so I haven't spent
much time looking. AIUI our elderly version of pppd(8) only supports
this for *sending* name server addresses, not receiving them.
I have some recollection that ppp(8) ("user ppp") may allow
receiving but I recall having problems getting it to connect last
time I tried it with a 3g card.
