They didn't break it; they removed it because it is obsolete.
The alternative commands aren't new; they have been in the last several
versions of the Mac OS (since Mac OS 8.5) and recommended in place of Remote
Access Commands. There are a number of sources of information and examples
about the "new" commands:
The best may be the "Network Scripting" help module in the AppleScript
GuideBook, available for download at Apple's AppleScript site.
There is also a long and informative Tech Info Library article,
"AppleScript: Using Network Setup Scripting in Mac OS 8.5" (#30829 10/10/98,
updated 6/12/00), explaining how to switch between AppleTalk and TCP/IP
configurations. It includes extensive sample script handlers to control your
network environment, including the AppleTalk, TCP/IP, Modem, Remote Access
and InfraRed control panel settings:
