The only option I know of is to enable the "record" option for PPPD,
save all the PPP traffic going through PPPD to a file, and read that
file in Ethereal.  Linux does a really crappy job of making PPP control
traffic available to PF_PACKET sockets - i.e., it doesn't make it
available to PF_PACKET sockets - so programs such as tcpdump and
Ethereal, which use libpcap to capture packets and thus use PF_PACKET
sockets on Linux 2.2 and later kernels, can't see that traffic.
