I think the DIALSTATUS will be available only after the DIAL command
ends, which means the call either aborted (BUSY...) or one of the two
users hung up (and even then, you would have to set special flag to Dial
to continue in the dialplan instead of end connection).

You might want to test the A() or M() parameters to the dial command,
as mentioned in http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Dial

Sorry I cannot offer dialplan excerpts. Perhaps you can write something
like on the wiki page mentioned. Possibly you would have to use A() for
outgoing calls and M() for incoming, or the other way around - I am not
sure wether those macros run on the bridged call (both sides listen to
the announcement) or to one side only.
