Shiva DNS resolution with PM2

Hi,

We are encountering problems with ShivaPPP (distributed with Netscape v2.02
Dialup Kit for Windows 3.x) and our new PM2 30 port terminal server.

We have found that Shiva can connect ok to the PM2, however Netscape
(and other internet utils) are unable to resolve DNS names. You can
aim your browser at an IP address ok, however the corresonding domain
name brings up the old "No DNS entry" message.

We have encountered this problem only with ShivaPPP. All other products
are able to resolve DNS names correctly (eg. NT 4.0, Windows 95, Mac, etc).
We are using the PM2 with RADIUS 1.6 on a Sun workstation.

Has anyone had similar grief with Shiva ? Is it a PM2 problem or a Shiva
specific sickness ?
