To turn on pppd debugging, you'll need to add a line like the following to
your /etc/syslog.conf file:
daemon.debug /path/to/log-file
Then restart syslog by sending it a hang-up:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`
Finally, add a line in your /etc/ppp/options file:
debug
Including the contents of the /path/to/log-file will (usually) help
immensely in debugging ppp problems.
