Hello all, DHCP is installed, the system accepts to get adresses from a router with DHCP server. Added usepeerdns to /etc/ppp/options. As described in man pppd, the following files were created: /var/run/ppp_resolv.conf.ppp0 nameserver 195.129.111.50 nameserver 195.129.111.49 /var/run/ppp_resolv.conf.dsl0 nameserver 217.0.43.1 nameserver 217.0.43.193 ...but apparently not passed to pppd ("ppp 2.4.5-5.1-i586 from vendor openSUSE"). Browsing via dial-up modem failed. The nameserver addresses are correct. My DSL device is new, but rather old fashioned. It is merely a modem, not a router. It does nothing else than convert IP-packages to DSL format and vice versa. It can not be configured, it gets the internet access data every time it is startet from pppd resp. smpppd.
