The chat -v still reports things to the log file(s) when syslogd is
configured to do that.
Sorry, I said the pppd option nodetach but meant updetach, with that you
get messages to standard error that are displayed at the terminal from
which pppd was launched. The man pages don't address this but the README
that comes with the ppp-2.3.9 source does:
* If you use the updetach or nodetach option, pppd will print its
messages to standard output as well as logging them with syslog
(provided of course pppd isn't using its standard input or output as
its serial device).
Normally I don't use the chat -v option and get just the chat REPORT
messages and the IP addresses from pppd, and then pppd releases the
terminal.
