This page allows you to view the system and other miscellaneous Logs. (See the beginning of this Section on how to use the Month, Day, << (Day before), >> (Day after) and controls). There are twelve or so different categories, selected via the Section dropdown list:

general IPCop events like PPP profile saving and
connection (“PPP has gone up on ppp0”) and
disconnection (“PPP has gone down on ppp0”) of
dialup modem links.
