first, thanks again for your replies.
Rick, no worries, i was not led astray,
just having to digest the info a byte at a time...
Tony, i believe chances are you're right,
& possibly the problem is at my provider's end...
Mikkel, my context on /etc/ppp/ip-up matches yours
& permissions on resolv.conf:
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 /etc/resolv.conf
(looks good?)
so far i haven't been able to reproduce the outage,
i'm starting to think my software is good, and the issue
might be bad updates from at&t....
It sure looks that way. The only thing that turned up was an empty
/etc/resolv.conf. I guess it it possible that you got a lease with
blank name server information. I don't know if it would be advisable
to keep the old information in that case...
