Yes, the command exists. I've used it frequently (with chap authentication). It actually tends to give useful messages, unlike some debug commands, and is not excessively verbose.
It's available in 11.2 and 12.1 at least, on various platforms. I seem to remember the messages changed between 11.2 and 12.1, but I can't really check that right now.

Such a command does not exist on my routers (which are running 11.0). Would anyone be willing to see if it exists on newer routers? Set up two routers connected via a serial link to use PPP encapsulation. Use PAP authentication. Shut down one of the interfaces, enable the debug command, no shut the interface and see what happens! I say to use PAP because I know that the "debug ppp chap" command works. I'm more interested in seeing if you can debug PAP. Thanks!
