A very simple solution:

- put
    REPORT  CONNECT
  in your chat script (pppconfig do this for you, at least in potato).
  Take a look at your modem docs; maybe you need REPORT CARRIER instead.

- use the chat "-r" option to set the chat log file (p.e:
  /var/log/chat.log). In this file you get something like this:

chat:  Aug 04 13:12:20 CONNECT 9600
chat:  Aug 04 13:14:02 CONNECT 14400/REL-LAPM V.42 BIS
chat:  Aug 04 18:11:05 CONNECT 33600/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS
                               ^^^^^
HTH,
