What version of pppd are you using with Red Hat? What version with Debian?
What options are you giving pppd under Red Hat? What options under Debian?

I would not expect it to.

You didn't need to do that. You could have run pppconfig once for each
ISP, giving each a unique name. You would then have been able chose which
to call by entering 'pon <isp-name>'.

'-detach' means do not fork and become a background process. '&' tells the
shell to make pppd a background process. Using both isn't wrong, exactly,
but it doesn't do anything either. Leave out both the '-detach' and the
'&'.

The script should work fine. It also does nothing not built into the
Debian ppp system.
