As we have already seen, you can turn on debug information logging
with the -d option to pppd. The 'debug' option is equivalent to this.
As we are establishing a new connection with a new script, leave in the
debug option for now. (Warning: if your disk space is tight, logging
pppd exchanges can rapidly extend your syslog file and run you into
trouble - but to do this you must fail to connect and keep on trying for
quite a few minutes).
Once you are happy that all is working properly, then you can remove
this option.
If you have called your ppp options file anything other than
/etc/ppp/options or /etc/ppp/options.ttySx, specify
the file name with the file option to pppd - e.g.
exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug file options.myserver /dev/ttyS0 38400 \ |
