For PPP connections, you can try to add a Login Script in your Internet
setup and turn on the 'Display script activity'. You might have to contact
your provider to learn what you would need to put in the script, as I'm not
sure that a login script with only one 'Done' entry would tell you anything
useful. But that's one way to discover what's going on after your modem
establishes a connection...
