I use pppctl to look at the timers. There is an example in "man pppctl" for the status. It shows you the connect time. You could do 'pppctl to "show phy" | grep "Connect time"'. I use the local domain socket and my show phy alias for root is status (pppctl /var/run/internet show phy) I created an alias called "conn" by combining status and the grep. It shows the connect time. I start user-ppp as root and you have to be logged in as the user that started user-ppp to run pppctl.
