Right, and chat -v for the chat script.  You might like something like
this in /etc/syslogconf:

daemon,local2.*                                         /dev/tty11
daemon,local2.*                                         /var/log/ppp
#that catches chat and pppd


restart syslogd after.

chat -v logs every thing sent and received by chat; sorry, I don't know
where-all pppsetup puts scripts and options.  It is easier for me to
write ppp options and chat scripts myself than to use some setup
program.
