Matt,
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. The fact that about 99.9% of
the people on the list aren't having a problem with Scripting Additions not
being loaded at startup should tell you something.
The problem isn't AppleScript, it's your code (which you haven't seen fit to
post) and here is why -

OS 9.1 installs the Network Setup Scripting FBA and Extension. Neither of
these is a 'Scripting Addition' and FBAs aren't loaded at startup even when
they reside in the Scripting Additions folder. You need to wrap a 'tell
application "Network Setup Scripting"' block around the applicable code, did
you?

It means that this list server mangles the actual characters sent into '+'
and ';'
Where you see this -
+event netwRMst; or <<event netwRMst>>
in the text of an email message you should replace the
'+' or '<<' with the opt+\ keystroke and
';' or '>>' with the opt+shift+\ keystroke
where they appear in a script copy/pasted from an email into your script
editor.
