Assuming you need the link's name for identifying/killing purposes,
you can use the linkname option in pppd.
pppd will create a dynamic name (such as ppp0, ppp1, etc) but you
could find it's pid info from /var/run/pppd-<linkname>.pid and the
dynamic ppp name it has assigned.
The /etc/ip-up script will also have a $LINKNAME env variable which
will assist you in finding the link itself.

Subject: Re: ppp0 ppp1
ppp2 ...
That is what I did,
but when I'm reconnecting for
some reasons it choose to make ppp1.
only rebooting make it choose
ppp0 again.
It's seems to keep some kind of log or history regarding
the previous ppp connections, but Where and can I change it ?
