I may be wrong, but with any DSL stuff I've played with, the IP of the "DSL
modem" is actually the IP you give to the Ethernet card to which the DSL
modem is actually attached.  The modem is just a bridge which doesn't need
an IP.  The only problem I can forsee is how your NIC (dc0) would find out
what the ISP's router (the default router) is, since you don't seem to be
using PPPoE or DHCP.
