Yes, as you probably don't know which PM he dials into.

He'll get assigned that address just like any other user using
dynamic ip. To route the rest of the network/subnet, use the
Framed-Route as mentioned below.

It is basically a kludge, the Cisco hears the host route
announcement, and converts it into a subnet route. The static address
is not used as it listens to RIP broadcasts.

no ip route <ip address> <netmask> <destination> <metric>
In other words, exactly the same command as before, but with a "no"
in front.
Oh, make sure the Cisco is listening to RIP.
