Pppd is compiled to log through syslog with facility daemon and level
debug.  It's up to syslog to decide what to do with the messages.  They
show up in 'messages' and 'syslog' as well as 'ppp.log'.

Except for enabling 'debug' by default, pppconfig is not involved.

I have a mostly potato system with ppp 2.3.10-1.  Logging works fine.
