Chris said without killing it.

Many of the configuration values are only used at negotiation
time. Those, you norrmally can't change without reopening the
link. The STD on PPP implies that it should be possible to renegotiate
the link without physically dropping carrier (by sending an LCP packet,
for instance), but I doubt ppp supports it (and I don't really think it
should).

What are you trying to do?
