You can see pppd logs in /var/log/syslog

less /var/log/syslog 

or

tail -f /var/log/syslog 

or

cat /var/log/syslog

From pppd man pages:

 debug Enables connection debugging facilities. If this option is given, pppd will log the contents of all control packets sent or received in a readable form. The packets are logged through syslog with facility daemon and level debug. This information can be directed to a file by setting up /etc/syslog.conf appropriately (see syslog.conf(5)). 

So by default all the pppd logs will be redirected to /var/log/syslog.
