Re: (ASCEND) Clients DNS

The option is already there.  All you need to do is when setting up the
icon you will use for dialing in, under the properties of the connection,
set the TCP/IP setting to use "server assigned DNS".  When the dial up
connection is made, and network traffic is directed to the com port, the
values assigned by the NAS will take precidence.  Kill the modem
connection, and the TCP/IP properties of the NIC will take over.
