OK, forgot about this. So then we need to edit /etc/init.d/ppp
This should do it:
if [ $2 -ne '"-m" ] || [ $2 -ne "--manual" ]; then
test -x /usr/sbin/pppd -a -f /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot || exit 0
fi
pon-
/etc/init.d/ppp start -m
poff-
/etc/init.d/ppp stop -m
Fixed!

Basiclly usless. I believe SSD already does this.
