How many times have I said this in the last few days?

Add the following lines to /etc/syslogd.conf:

daemon.*	/dev/console
local2.*	/dev/console

Then, find the process ID for syslog, and type

kill -HUP <pid-for-syslog>

daemon is for logging the debug messages from pppd, while local2 is to log
the messages generated from chat with the -v option.
