I haven't used a modem for around eight years and never on Linux! It might be an idea to change the title of the thread to mention modem.

Check the response from your host resolution for an address which works and an address which doesn't:

host www.google.com
host your.msn.literal.address

The 'resolv.conf' probably changes because your ppp 'options' file (or else the other config file to establish the connection) is set to use the peer's response to set the DNS (usepeerdns).
