Command> set console

Check the output for the LCP negotiation. Helpful diagrams in Chp 19 of
the config guide.
To stop the debugging output
Command> set debug
To Watch the actual packets via the packet trace facility you can setup a
packet filter and use the ptrace command as follows by replacing x.x.x.x
with the real ip address of your remote.
Command> add filter p
Command> set fil p 1 permit x.x.x.x/32 0.0.0.0/0
Command> set fil p 2 permit 0.0.0.0/0 x.x.x.x/32
Command> sho fil p
When your connection is ready for testing start the packet trace.
Command> set console
Command> pt p
The above filter will show all ip packets to and from the address x.x.x.x.
When you want to stop the output type...
Command> pt
