Using Bill Cheeseman's excellent UI Browser to get the reference,
menu item "Connect" of menu "Connect" of menu bar 1 of application
process "Internet Connect"
will access the Connect menu item the Connect menu (just as it says).
However there is no reference to the <AXMenuItem> from within Internet
Connect.
Using UI Element Inspector, and selecting the Internal Modem from the
drop down menu of the modem icon indicates this
**********************************************************************
<AXMenu: >
<AXMenuItem: Internal Modem>
Attributes:
AXRole: AXMenuItem
AXRoleDescription: menu item
AXChildren: (null)
AXParent: <AXMenu: >
AXTitle: Internal Modem
AXEnabled: 1
AXPosition: x=887 y=88
AXSize: x=241 y=19
AXWidth: 241
AXHeight: 19
AXSelectedChildren: (null)
AXVisibleChildren: (null)
AXHelp: (null)
AXMenuItemCmdChar: (null)

AXMenuItemCmdGlyph: (null)
AXMenuItemCmdModifiers: (null)
AXMenuItemMarkChar:
Actions:

**********************************************************************
To have another menu item from that menu, here is the menu item "Show
time connected"
**********************************************************************
<AXMenu: >
<AXMenuItem: Show time connected>
Attributes:
AXRole: AXMenuItem
AXRoleDescription: menu item

Does anyone know if the menu can be identified by a name, number,
position... or anything else?
At this point I would be satisfied with one or more of the
identifiers, but I would be thrilled to see an example syntax to
select an item in the menu.
Thanks... Jim
