It could be that /var/log/syslog can show you where to start. Perhaps you want
to post it here. Possibly better, skim plog man page, and plog together with
[01:23:31 tmp]$ zgrep -B4 -A1 local2 /usr/share/doc/ppp/README.Debian.gz
Syslog facility level:
----------------------
The default level of LOG_DAEMON has been overridden (as described in the
pppd(8) man page), to be LOG_LOCAL2. The intent being that local2 be sent
to /var/log/ppp.log for use by plog, if you add the following line to your
/etc/syslog.conf file:
local2.* -/var/log/ppp.log
[01:23:38 tmp]$
Once you will have the log, either analyze it yourself to find a faulty point
or post it here for further analysis.
