I also had problems with getting ppp to kill reliably. I put this in
/usr/local/bin, and it seems to work pretty well. The unfortunate thing I
could never get around is allowing a normal user to kill a 'hung' ppp
process without the su password. I was going to explore the 'sudo' program,
but then the DSL line got installed.

------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/ifdown ppp0
sleep 5
if [ -f /var/run/ppp0.pid ]
then
su -c "kill `ps aux | grep watch | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`"
su -c "kill `ps aux | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`"
fi
echo "He's dead Jim, He's dead."
