Yep, specifically, in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf you need the following lines:
set ifaddr 199.3.234.19 a.b.c.d
add 0 0 a.b.c.d
where a.b.c.d is your provider - check your man page, you're allowed to
use a special '/' notation to relax how specific his or your IP numbers
are.
you probably want to 'disable lqr' and 'deny lqr' as well, but if you've
had it working, you'll know whether that's necessary.
