    I think this IP is got automatically. Look at these messages that appear
    when I am connecting (I am using 2 scripts: to connect ppp-on and
    ppp-off to disconnect via ppp) :
    adagilson@localhost:~$ppp-on
    bash: ppp-on: command not found
    adagilson@localhost:~$su
    Password:
    root@localhost:/home/adagilson# ppp-on
    root@localhost:/home/adagilson# Serial connection established.
    Using interface ppp0
    Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
    local IP address 200.151.182.81
    remote IP address 200.199.191.203
    $ppp-off
    ppp link to [ppp0] terminated:
    Demand dialing stopped.

    Should I use "remote IP address as DNS"?
    a.
