tlug: pppd question

[Neil Booth <NeilB@example.com>]

When pppd is invoked, what determines whether your connection uses
interface ppp0, ppp1 or whatever?

Starting this afternoon, it starting connecting me as ppp1, and would
never connect me as ppp0. I had to reboot to reset this. I've now
discovered resetting to ppp0 is unnecessary, but am curious why I'm not
given ppp0 again.

Cheers,

Neil.
