The only thing I can think of would be to change the ATDT bit of your
dial script to the name of a script (prefixed with a ``!''), and have
the script figure out what device you're talking to. This can be done
by finding out your parent process id, grepping that from
/var/run/tun*.pid, then grepping tunX (whichever contained the pid)
from /var/run/*.if. You can then ``echo'' a number based on this info...

Sure.
!bg sh -c "sleep 1800; kill `cat /var/run/INTERFACE.pid`"
but you probably want to be careful that ppp hasn't shut down and
another started up before the sleep expires....
