Why couldn't you just write a small "wrapper" script that would invoke
chat and also save the returned value, and then use that script in the
"connect" parameter of the pppd command line (instead of chat)? I
haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Also, you could use the REPORT keyword in your chat script: wouldn't
"REPORT BUSY" do it?
