The second problem was that with /etc/init.d network stop a new
connection was tried.
I used another "dirty method"
in the Network.conf I added the pseudo Interface adsl0
IF_AUTO="adsl0 eth0 eth1"
commented your adsl-start out
in the routine if_up() added
# set up each interface
case $1 in
# new
adsl0)
adsl-start
;;
# end new
ppp0 .....................
-----------------------------------------------
and in if_down()
#new
adsl0)
adsl_stop
;;
# end new
ppp0.............................
-----------------------------------------------------
As far as I know are the Firewall settings taken from the Part in
the Network scripts below # IP FILTER SETUP
so this is not influenced
----------------------------------------------------------
I 'm not sure if the same construction works with the other variants
either.

Btw you can save some space with a few other "tricks"
In the adsl-scripts ifconfig is used a few times, so you added
ifconfig.
The same functions can be done by ip.
I also didn't found the place where wc and egrep are used, so you
can probably throw them out too.
