Do you know a function for connecting, disconnecting for the MAC OS Version < 10.3.
 
the Function SCNetworkConnectionStart run only under >= 10.3...

As you've noticed, the SCNetworkConnection API was introduced in Mac OS X 10.3.  Earlier systems have no good, supported API for managing PPP connections.  There are two possible alternatives:

1. Open Transport PPP API -- This more-or-less works, but it has some bugs that have caused problems for various developers over the years.

2. ppplib -- This unsupported API works more reliably than the OT PPP API, but you have to dig into Darwin to find the API.

You can search the list archives for detailed information about these APIs.

Finally, if you use either of these APIs, make sure that you only use it on Mac OS X 10.x (x < 3).  On Mac OS X 10.3 and later, you must only use SCNetworkConnection.  That's the only PPP API that we intend to support in the long term.

Share and Enjoy
