I just put scripts in ip-up.d and ip-down.d that sent a one line message
to a tty indicating the status of the link. You only need to switch to
that tty to see the status of the link.
e.g.
echo Local $PPP_LOCAL connected to remote $PPP_REMOTE > /dev/ttyX
or
echo Disconnecting PPP link on `date`. > /dev/ttyX
