Not sure if this helps, but:
I had similar troubles, because my modem needed to be set to a
specific irq line and everytime ppp-off hung up, it didn't reset. I
started using diald to manage the connection automatically, and this
works fine. Diald starts pppd as needed, and kills it withing a minute
or so of my exiting the app that requested the link. I've not had to
manually reset anything yet. Maybe this is due to diald's keeping a hold
on the modem, rather than pppd actually letting go each time the
connection ended.
