I don't currently have access to the /etc/resolv.conf file, due to me being 
at work, but it's set out something similar to this (and yes I've fiddled 
with it that much that I can remember it ... sad I know)

domain qld.bigpond.net.au
search qld.bigpond.net.au qut.edu.au uq.edu.au

nameserver  24.192.64.18
nameserver  24.192.64.19
nameserver  24.192.1.30


#QUT nameservers
nameserver 131.181.127.32
nameserver  131.181.59.48

#powerup nameservers
#nameserver 203.32.8.111
#nameserver 203.32.8.113


I use bpalogin v1.7 and simply downloaded the .deb from the bigpond site 
... setup the /etc/bpalogin.conf file as setout in the telstra cable howto 
... which is why I'm so stumped that it's not working
