Use the kppp GUI and watch the graph.

If you are worried about the bandwidth, apart from Ralf's suggestion
(you could also simply limit the maxproc in master.cf for your default
smtp transport instead), forward all outgoing mail to your ISP's server
as smarthost (see relayhost in sample-misc.cf and relayhost and
transport in sample-main.cf or 'man transport'), in which case postfix
will send mail sequentially.
