big sigh and many questions.

Hi there Anna.
Well, the names of the domain servers your isp  would like you to use to 
resolve domains with your ppp account go in a file called: resolv.conf
As I believe it was Adam who already pointed out to you the output you 
mentioned in regard to kickstart orwhatever it was called are only 
samples for you to use as a guide.
Also, the server for your email doesn't go anywhere in your resolv.conf 
file but rather that would go in your .fetchmailrc file instead. 
At the end of this message I have included my own resolv.conf file as a 
sample in the hope that it will be helpful, from what I know of your 
situation yours would need to look similar though I'm surprised that 
dhcp hasn't created it for you.
I also did a whois lookup on drizzle.com for ya and got the names and 
ips for their name servers. 
The info is as follows: 
Domain servers in listed order.
giantsquid.drizzle.com 216.162.192.12 
acresofclams.drizzle.com 216.162.192.4 
Lastly, here's my resolv.conf file so you can see its format]
domain sympaticowarp.ca
nameserver 142.163.127.61
nameserver 209.128.1.4
search sympaticowarp.ca
Good luck and hth, furhter, might I suggest you take a look at speak 
freely and try to get that up and running at some point as I am sure you'd 
find the reflector to also be a cool place to hang out and possibly 
obtain assistance, though you probably already know this its address is: 
lwl.braille.uwo.ca:4074
