It's typically not the case that IP addresses are statically assigned for ADSL links, but it's not impossible. The PPPoE client still uses the ppp daemon for PPP stuff. There is an option for pppd to specify the local and/or remote IP address, and then the ppp daemon will not accept any address other than the one specified. See 'man pppd' OPTIONS heading.
