You're talking about giving an IP address to somebody dialing in,
right? If you want to make sure that a person always gets the same
IP address, do this:
1. Set up a normal system account for the person (adduser name).
2. If you're authenticating with PAP, add this to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
name servername *
(see 'man pppd' for details on the format)
3. Make sure you call pppd with the login option (are you using mgetty?)
4. Put this line in $HOME/.ppprc for the user:
local-ip:remote-ip
If I understood you correctly, then that should do it. Where I used the
... notation, you should of course substitute real parameters.

Can someone please tell me how to setup up a static IP for a dialup account

I use pppconfig to set up ppp connections. In most cases you can treat a
static IP just like you would a dynamic IP.
