Some other dialing programs can cooperate with an ISP to assign a DNS 
number when you dial, but eznet does not do that.  (In Windows, dial-up 
networking does not require DNS numbers to be specified, for instance). 
You can use any pair of DNS numbers pointing to a DNS server that is 
currently working.  I am using numbers from two other ISPs because mine 
did not post any, they just explained in excruciating detail how to set up 
Windows to dial.  If you cannot find DNS numbers, I will send you mine.
