If diald is the only program accessing the modem, you could put the
commands to access the stats into the connect script that dials in.
You'll just have to wait a little longer for them. :-)
But in general, you should attempt to get the stats right away. You
should check out the "disconnect" command. If you use chat, the results
will be logged by syslog and saved wherever chat stuff is generally saved.
If you use sh or perl or expect you can save the data wherever you like
and do some more sophisticated processing at the same time.
