Are you sure that not accepting WINS settings is the only reason for getting those DNS server addresses? As I understood it, the reason we got those bogus addresses was that the phone/modem hadn't actually got in touch with the gateway yet. The symptom I've seen is that we get those bogus addresses in IPCP configure-naks over and over again, even if we request exactly the IP address that the modem asked us to request, until the modem manages to get a connection, and then it naks us with the correct values (for IP-addr as well as DNS addrs). Also, have you tried the latest git version of pppd? Since 2.4.4 I have added code to add the MS-DNS option to our IPCP conf-reqs if the modem insists. At least at one stage that seemed to be the critical thing, not the MS-WINS options. So if you can replicate the problem with the current git version of pppd, and this patch makes it go away, let me know (or better still put it in the patch description) and I'll put the patch in.
