I haven't ever said it's useful only for dialup connections -- an another example is a company network with hundreds of DOS/Windoze PC's each of them ocassionally using IP.
Another really good use for DHCP is to support laptop computers which connect to different parts of the company's network, depending on which conference room they happen to be in.
This is the major reason why I'd really like to see DHCP support.
