So how does one make a simple PPP connections with Network Setup Scripting?
when I try the example in the Guide book:
set the config_name to "Default"
try
tell application "Network Setup Scripting"
-- open the Networking Database
open database
-- start the connection process
connect Remote Access configuration config_name
--close the Network Database
close database
end tell
on error errString
try
-- close the database if it was left open
tell application "Network Setup Scripting" to close database
display dialog errString
end try
end try
(I previously created configuration "Default" )
All i get is a error message that "Some parameter is missing for a connection"
There are many examples of creating configurations but not for
actually connecting!
What am I missing?

This is correct. Remote Access Commands is officially nonfunctional as of
Mac OS 9.1

This is also correct. The Status property in Network Setup Scripting is
broken in Mac OS 9.1.
So, it's Catch-22. You have to wait for the bug fix, whenever that may be.
