But only for setting DNS and default gateway, at least on my system.
pppd is not run from ppp-network. And setting DNS is not done correctly.
The script is supposed to be called:

	ppp-network install dns NAMESERVER1 NAMESERVER2

It then writes NAMESERVER1 and NAMESERVER2 into /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and
links that file to /etc/resolv.conf.

But ppp-network is called only with `install dns' not specifying any servers
thus /etc/ppp/resolv.conf is not even created.

pppd itself writes nameservers into /var/run/ppp/resolv.conf. So a
workaround for this is to link /var/run/ppp/resolv.conf to
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf.


This is the one problem; not so big. Big problem is that after first
connection with GPRS, I cannot make any phone calls anymore. Restarting
qpe fixes this. 

After some more connections with GPRS, GPRS itself cannot connect
anymore, phone calls not working. Restarting qpe does not help, UI shows
`No Network'. Modem seems to be dead. Only reboot helps.

Maybe I should wait for 4.4 ... ;)
