Forgot to mention: there is also a pppoe kernel option. Can't I just use the ordinary ppp dialer instead of rp-pppoe?
The adsl-script doesn't ask for the IP address of the modem, but only the interface. So I must miss something important.
I think you still need a PPP which supports pppoe even with the kernel option.
I don't know what's wrong with your setup, for me it just works when configuring Debian's ppp package. As far as I remember I used adsl-setup too to do the initial configuration of the files, I just followed the instructions I found when googling for "pppoe linux" and surprisingly it worked very very smoothly.
As for the IP of the modem - it's not relevant - "PPPoE" means "PPP over Ethernet", i.e. the modem and the host interface through which you talk to it doesn't need an IP address configured since the data is passed over "raw" ethernet packets.
