First-off, in AppleScript, you generally don't click buttons etc., but
instead, you instruct applications to do things (connect for instance).
Take a look at the Remote Access Commands scripting addition installed in
System Folder > Scripting Additions folder. Command of interest are
probably PPP connect, PPP disconnect, and PPP status.
PPP connect : Initiates a PPP connection
PPP connect
[address string] -- The connection address (telephone number)
[user name string] -- The user name (cannot use guest access)
[password string] -- The user password (cannot use guest access)
[guest access boolean] -- Guest access (cannot use user name or
password)
[terminal window boolean] -- Open terminal window
[connect script alias] -- Use this connect script
[quiet mode boolean] -- Don't display dialogs
Result : small integer -- The result code; check the Open Transport PPP
Errors list
PPP disconnect : Closes a PPP connection
PPP disconnect
Result : small integer -- The result code; check the Open Transport PPP
Errors list
PPP status : Retrieves the status of a PPP connection
PPP status
Result : PPPStatusParam -- The resulting status information
