I found that 

 set debug phase chat lqm lcp tcp/ip hdlc async link connect carrier

gives me a lot of information. These combine to hex 3ff in the 
log level. OTOH I wonder what loglevel means when it is limited to 9.

Is setting the log level by number a different thing?

It says dial ok! and login ok! so I conclude that authentication worked.

BTW, I don't see any TCP/IP log. Does it require bpf enabled on tun0?
(provided that bpf works at all on tun device).
