Excuse the interuption here (I missed the first message) but on every potato install I've done (not sure about slink... been too long!) pppd reports all "interesting" information to '/var/log/messages' and all ppp data to '/var/log/ppp.log' Here is a quick listing of mine: # grep "Aug 3" /var/log/ppp.log | grep chat | grep / Aug 3 08:48:53 mustang chat[9861]: 26400/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS^M Looking more closely I see this is text my provider sends during connection (along with other info) and not something from pppd or it's friends. This may not be useful to you (probably not) but you may want to try adding "ECHO ON" to your '/etc/chatscripts/provider' so that any such messages get logged.
