id say you dont want to be killing the tty. probably this is being
killed, but ppp isnt. so then you connect again and the next available
device is ppp1. 

what are you using to connect with? wvdial/minicom/chat etc.
you probably want to kill that.

also a kill -9 is the harshest kill type. nothing can stop this from
killing the process. always try 1 and 2 first, to allow the process to
finish what its doing (for example removing ppp0 after quitting)

hope that helps
matt
