I use this:

/usr/sbin/pppstats -w 10 >> /var/log/pppstats.log

and during the download do:

tail -f /var/log/pppstats.log

Then, later, you can plot usefull data using gnuplot.
using a line like:

plot "/tmp/pppstats.log" using 1 with linespoints, \
     "/tmp/pppstats.log" using 7 axes x1y2 with linespoints

Easy, isn't it? :-)

Happy GNU Year
