man chat

Set the file for output of the report strings. If
you use the keyword REPORT, the resulting strings
are written to this file. If this option is not
used and you still use REPORT keywords, the stderr
file is used for the report strings.
Example:
chat -r /var/log/connect.report REPORT CONNECT \
TIMEOUT 85 \
ABORT "NO CARRIER" \
ABORT BUSY \
ABORT "NO DIALTONE" \
ABORT ERROR \
"" ATDT$PHONE_NUMBER \
CONNECT ""
