Why does ppp(8) not log my connection speed?

In order to log all lines of your modem ``conversation'', you must enable the following:

    set log +connect

This will make ppp(8) log everything up until the last requested ``expect'' string.

If you wish to see your connect speed and are using PAP or CHAP (and therefore do not have anything to ``chat'' after the CONNECT in the dial script - no set login script), you must make sure that you instruct ppp(8) to ``expect'' the whole CONNECT line, something like this:

    set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 4 \
      \"\" ATZ OK-ATZ-OK ATDT\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT \\c \\n"

Here, we get our CONNECT, send nothing, then expect a line-feed, forcing ppp(8) to read the whole CONNECT response.
