But what about /etc/resolv.conf (not /etc/ppp/resolv.conf)? It's *this*
file that gets used by the system for name resolution.

The /etc/ppp/resolv.conf file contains the values derived via ppp, which
may or may not be relevant. So it's optional whether they get installed
into the true resolv.conf. In my distro (Debian, not Slackware TBH),
the ppp "up" script installs /etc/ppp/resolv.conf into /etc/resolv.conf.

It may be that this scripting is broken or doesn't exist, or perhaps
you could get away with a simple "ln -fs /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
/etc/resolv.conf".
