The A (address) record would be a mapping from a domain name (like
"somehost.att.net") to an IP address.  It would be added to att.net's
DNS servers when you connect.  It wouldn't appear as such in your
dialup dialog, but the same information it contains - your Internet
hostname and address - probably does appear.
