It does - if it is running and handles the dial-up. But I rather need
a logger that runs either from /etc/ppp/ip-up or as a daemon
(monitoring all connections no matter who fires up pppd and how) and a
corresponding X interface that displays some info and warning messages
(e.g. after a certain online time or depending on the accumulated
costs).
