Perhaps this helps, although it could be overcomplicated for this
purpose:
Store your Logs on another machine in the Network. AFAIK syslog
provides this. The manpage of syslog.conf denotes this as remote
logging.
Write a skript rotating logs an storing the old logs on another
machine. This is a similar approach.
You do not have a problem with pppd, but with disk space, so I would
prefer one of these two solutions.

This could affect other daemons, which is probably not desired.

I don't think, that this is the last way. You are working on symptoms
not on the root of the problem, I think.
