OK, will have to try that.

I did tell my wife that it "might" be possible that the DNS servers she
was using could be down.  She told me later that she tested that by
rebooting her windows partition to see if DNS was working there.  That
seemed to be OK.

I did try manually entering the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf, but once
KPPP started up it duplicated the entries.  I didn't try a known good
nameserver.  Any you'd recommend?
