As soon as pppd is patched to accept the WINS settings, the DNS settings always arrive.

I am able to reproduce the problem with 2.4.4. Are the changes you are talking about merged post-2.4.4? If so, I will try to reproduce with current git. Unfortunately, this problem seems to be location-specific to me, in some locations this reproduces easily, in other locations it takes time. I am currently mostly in the locations where things usually work, but I will try (maybe Marcus will be faster verifying this, as I guess he is able to reproduce it in his "primary" location). I guess it's dependent on the speed of registration with network, or something like that.
