It appears kppp needs to modify /etc/resolv.conf with DNS server information in the course of its operation. When it's running you'll see information like:
nameserver 192.168.1.1 #kppp temp entry
in it.

Afterwards it removes the entry(-ies) it put in there.

Question: After you've chmod'ed resolv.conf, does the new mode "stick"? I made it writable yesterday, but today it was back to rw-r--r--.

(And yes, this is a very neat distro! )
