Heh.  Ok, neither of the previous two responses answered
the question you asked.  Usually, a good isp (no idea if
MSN is one, but I doubt it) will make the addresses available.
It really doesn't matter though, pppd will query the peer for
dns addresses.  You should be able to see this in the messages
file.  Your other option would be to look up the dns servers
msn has listed in their domain registration and just use those.
