> 1) How can I check my connection status?
Use the 'plog' command. If the connection has failed, you'll see something
like this:
Jun 24 07:06:38 hasler pppd[223]: pppd 2.3.3 started by root, uid 0

Jun 24 07:06:44 hasler pppd[223]: Exit.
If it succeeds, you'll see sonething like this:

However, just because the ppp link is up doesn't mean that your networking
stuff is properly configured. Try 'ping -c1 ftp.debian.org'.

You may not have nameservers correctly specified in /etc/resolv.conf.
