Yes indeed it works with assigned IP as well. Sorry, my confusion come from
the fact that it doesn't worked when I have started connection from control center GUI
(because it has login name embedded in some other network script) but does worked when
running adsl-start from command line.

Yes, I did use 'expert mode'. I think only than I'm allowed to change
connection parameters. I have found now that this login name changing works only
partially, i.e. it changes login name in configuration files but doesn't change it in
network scripts that are used to bring connection up from Mandrake GUI.
I thought it is expected provider domain to be appended when logging in :( - the
Mandrake GUI is similiar to tkpppoe from rp-pppoe-gui rpm and tkpppoe asks to enter
login name without a part after @.
Yet another thing is that when you attempt start connection from GUI, it launches
another <Network Monitor> window, some time passes, you see failed connection message.
Than after few more seconds you see that connection is up in Control Center window
but Network Monitor window shows that connection is down. It looks like there is a
time limit problem (???).
Thanks,
Richard.
