Thanks for the confirmation, however I have the impression that the
problem is more subtle, than simply reading resolv.conf, for I have
shutdown my LAN (ifconfig eth1 down) connection, open xemacs and start
the connection, then everything is fine. So it seems that the ppp
connection somehow behaves differently!
