Personally I just set a ulimit before running pppd so that it can't mess up anything else on the system with it's forking then if things screw up I've a script that killall -9's the processes, unloads the usb modules, reloads them and starts from scratch. Since this only happens very occasionally for me, when something goes tits up at the phone exchange it seems to be a good enough solution to me :) Let me know if you want more details or to see my script.
