plenty of wiretap kits available. note however that in most
jurisdictions, using one is a criminal offense (even with the permission
of the line owner - the line belongs to the service provider, not the
customer) and usually will carry a custodial sentence if you are caught
doing it.

it is unusual (but possible) that the channel is encrypted. normally in
a leased line environment, there isn't even ppp - its a dedicated
point-to-point link, you don't need to log in.
