"ifconfig -a" shows how many network interfaces you have.  If you only
see "ppp0", then you can only have one ppp connection.  Likewise for slip (
slip interfaces are called "slX").

I believe the original poster was a bit confused; ppp interfaces aren't
options, their pseudo devices.  You want something like:

pseudo-device ppp 2

(or whatever).
