I just now added:

nameserver 209.75.197.2
nameserver 209.75.197.3

to /etc/resolv.conf

Nope, it does not work.

First, "ifconfig" does not list either "slip" nor "ppp" interfaces after
the connection has been made.  That makes sense since pppd doesn't get a
remote IP address and therefore doesn't initialize the interface nor add a
route.  Here's what the log file says with my old ISP (which works
correctly):

Jan 19 21:08:30  pppd[26053]: rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x1 <addr 209.6.66.137>]
Jan 19 21:08:30  pppd[26053]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x2 <addr 209.6.66.137> <compress VJ 0f 01>]
Jan 19 21:08:30  pppd[26053]: rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x2 <addr 209.6.66.137> <compress VJ 0f 01>]
Jan 19 21:08:30  pppd[26053]: local  IP address 209.6.66.137
Jan 19 21:08:30  pppd[26053]: remote IP address 209.244.43.202
Jan 19 21:08:31  diald[161]: New addresses: local 209.6.66.137, remote 209.244.43.202.
Jan 19 21:08:31  diald[161]: Setting pointopoint route for ppp0
Jan 19 21:08:31  diald[161]: running '/sbin/route add 209.244.43.202 metric 0 dev ppp0'

Second, "traceroute -n 209.75.197.2" never reaches anything.
(Unsurprising, given the above.)

Is there any way I could get a PAP secret?  Maybe that would be the best
way to repair this problem.
