If you don't DHCP, can you even get DNS servers from your provider? If you want to set them yourself, just put them in /etc/resolv.conf and you're done. Rodolfo suggests the peerdns option to pppd, but that would ask your provider for the addresses, and as I read your request, that's not what you want.
I was just trying to point him in the direction of the parameters which control this and the documentation that explains it. In the ifcfg-ppp0 file, "PEERDNS=no" will make sure that you _don't_ use the ISP's servers. I don't recall whether there is a "dontusepeerdns" for pppd, although I do know there is a "usepeerdns" which will activate it.
Again, just trying to provide a little Clue since I didn't have the time to go re-read the docs and figure out what the real and complete answer was.
How do you get a static IP on a dialup? Dedicated phone line?
Assigned by the ISP. Not difficult on technical grounds, actually. We used to issue them way back in 1997 when customers needed dial-up access but wanted to run mailservers.
