Go to http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html.  It X-references all of the 
ppp docs I know of.

"set debug" has been deprecated - it's now "set log".  A pointer to a 
version of the latest sources (that will build on any FreeBSD) is 
available on the above page too.

There has always been a section on set debug/log in the man page.  
You want to "set log +tcp/ip"
