The interface number. If you have five PPP interfaces,
they would be numbered ppp0, ppp1, ppp2, ppp3, and ppp4.

I'm not sure you would. ppp1 refers to a different interface
than ppp0. I have two NICs, eth0 and eth1, and getting them
confused or forcing one to be the other would cause a great
deal of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
