Another way to do this is to use the REPORT option in your chatscript:
REPORT       CONNECT
ABORT        BUSY
ABORT        "NO CARRIER"
etc...

Then have pppd invokes chat with the -r option + filename (e.g., in
/etc/ppp/peers/provider for ppp 2.3b3-2):
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/uw -r
/var/log/ppp-speed-uw.log" defaultroute /dev/ttyS1 38400 user mso noauth
noproxyarp
(all on one line of course).

Chat will then write the entire CONNECT line into the file.
