Sure :)
When I run ifconfig I get:

If I bring down ppp0 and bring up ppp1, it will always show ppp0. I can't tell
by ifconfig whether ppp0 or ppp1 is up. It used to show ppp1 when ppp1 was up
using ifconfig for Red Hat v5.2, but since 6.0 it always says ppp0 no matter
which ppp is up.
Here's an unrelated question just posted by someone:

Charles,
I have the same problem, and found a fix on Red Hat's Errata page. Check out
this link. It shows that this is a bug and gives you a ppp upgrade that will
fix this. I've installed it on my system, but I haven't rebooted yet to see if
it fixes this.
