Maybe add --pidfile /var/run/ppp0.pid if you know which interface it
will be using.
If you have "modem" somewhere in your pppd options, it should lower
DTR when killed, which should make your modem hang up. You might need
to send some AT... command to enable this behaviour.
Otherwise, is this simple enough? For pppd, add this option somewhere
(command line, /etc/ppp/options, etc.):
disconnect "/usr/sbin/chat -- \d+++\d\c OK ath0 OK"
(from the PPP-HOWTO).
