ADSL Requirements

Greetings,

In order to use Internode's ADSL offering.. (other than having the
ADSL configured on the phone line) what is the configuration of the 
network?

I have configured PPPoE for the telstra ADSL service, and it looks
like..
      
      		   			     
  ADSL Phone line  +-------+  Cat5       +----------------------+
  -----------------| ADSL  |-------------| Ethernet Card in PC  |
  from splitter	   | Modem |   	         | running Debian/Linux |
       	       	   +-------+   	         +----------------------+
      	               	     Ethernet  	   PPPoE
                                           IP address in PPP interface.


How does this change with a fixed IP service?
      
      		   			     
  ADSL Phone line  +-------+  Cat5       +----------------------+
  -----------------| ADSL  |-------------| Ethernet Card in PC  |
  from splitter	   | Modem |   	         | running Debian/Linux |
       	       	   +-------+   	         +----------------------+

                          ^                 ^
      	               	  |   IP addess?    |
       	       	       	  `- here or here --'     	       	       	


I'm assuming that this service doesn't have any username or password
verification and is fixed to the phone line.

Is this correct?
