There should be a program called ppp-off which will stop your ppp
program. Try it.
Try typing
which ppp-off
If it is not found, then proceed as follows.
Type
ps | grep pppd
You will see two lines with numbers on the left. The one which does
*not* contain grep is the status line of your pppd daemon.
To stop the daemon, if the number is, say 119, type
kill -TERM 119.
If this starts up at boot time and you don't want that to happen, use
control-panel and change the appropriate item.
HTH,
