I knew about the IP stuff what I was wondering was wether or not this
stuff: Apr 13 19:23:00 petra pppd[11431]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x1
magic=0x7df7] was healthy, and by the way it INVAIDS my syslog, but
flooding it, I couldn't see how it could be heathly... so I thought I
would ask about how to "fix" it, meaning how to get pppd to stop flooding
my syslog, with information I can't make heads or tails of.... Guess I
shouldn't e-mail past midnight, I lose mental corodonation, and prowess.

Well another kind Debian Developer (Thanks John) said this:
Add a REPORT string to /etc/chatscripts/provider, like this:
REPORT CONNECT
And tell chat where to put the report string by giving it the '-r' option
in /etc/ppp/peers/provider, like this:
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -r /etc/ppp/report -f
/etc/chatscripts/provider"
Now just read /etc/ppp/report to see everything that the modem reported
when it connected.
