As Paul and Jason pointed out, you can specify the IP address in
the /etc/ppp/options file. Since you're only setting your IP address (it's
arrogant to try to set the ISP's address), add something like:

163.125.48.93

But I'm confused by one statement you make, "I choose 163.125.48.93."
Is that the static IP address your ISP has chosen for you? I guess my point
is that your ISP has to like your IP address, and I doubt they'd like a
random selection.

You might not have to set it, though. "Dynamic," just means, "ask." So if
your ISP always says the same thing, you're set. Though if you set it,
you can use the demand dial stuff.

Take care,
