I guess the first thing to do would be to make pppd print some debug
information by using the 'debug' option in the appropriate
/etc/ppp/options file. Then look at /var/log/ppp.log. At least that
should give you a clue of whether it's really running.

My best recollection is that pon does nothing useful after adsl-setup;
that you have to run adsl-start to make good things actually happen.
