Is this a new phenomenon or has it been with you ever since you started ppp? The fact that you have such a comparatively large /var suggests that the machine may have been set up with this purpose in mind and that you simply need a larger /var. If the problem is new/intermittent then you might want to monitor look your network traffic carefully to identify the source.
