Use "vnstat". Once installed, you need to generate the interface's database
once by using "vnstat -u -i ppp0". And it will keep monitoring the data usage
till you reset the statistics(at the end of month perhaps)

sample output would be like:
------------------------------
$ sudo vnstat
                     rx      /     tx      /    total    /  estimated
 eth0:
     yesterday      1829 MB  /    1174 MB  /    3004 MB
         today      3249 MB  /    3132 MB  /    6381 MB  /    7893 MB

 ppp0:
     yesterday    231.99 MB  /  132.73 MB  /  364.73 MB
         today      1022 MB  /  909.41 MB  /    1932 MB  /    2388 MB
------------------------------

who keeps are regular log of the traffic, if this is not running as a daemon?
