Nigel, as stated in several of my posts... I'm trying to connect my
modem to my ISP WITHOUT launching "Internet Connect" due to the time
involved launching it each time the script runs.
Following are a couple of the posts in which the subject changed that
state my purpose. The remaining quotes are from my original post before
the Subject changed.
Hope this helps... Jim
In response to Craig Sutherland on July 27, 2003 (Subject: Locating A
Menu Item)
Craig, thanks for above info. I have been using UI Element Inspector
and had generated info similar to the above, which I presume is from
the menu that Internet Connect places on the RIGHT SIDE of the Menu Bar
when "Show modem status in the menu bar" is checked. The problem is
that the name of the menu appears to be "" as identified by <AXMenu:
""> or AXParent: "<AXMenu: "">". How does one select this particular
menu so one can select the menu name, which is labeled ie: "Internal
Modem" or "Show time connected" on the AXTitle line?
Also, I downloaded UI Browser 1.1.1 and I agree... it is much easier
than UI Element Inspector; however UI Browser does NOT show any of the
menus on the right side of the Menu Bar... which is of no help in the
menu I want to work with... unless Bill knows something that is not
obvious.
All comments that will help me create a good syntax that will allow me
to connect to via modem WITHOUT launching "Internet Connect"are
appreciated. TIA... Jim

And... yes, you are correct, I am trying to script a modem connection
WITHOUT using Internet Connect... Jim
My original post on July 26, 2003 (no subject)
I had a script that I used in OS 9 and before that would simply start
the connection process to my ISP and then it would disconnect when I
was finished. The were commands that I could access without launching
Remote Access... or whatever app the commands were a part of. So far,
I'm not able to find something that will allow me to do the same thing
in OS X.
I can connect to the ISP with the following:
tell application "Internet Connect" to connect
BUT... it launches the application.
What am I missing?.. or where else can I look for commands to connect,
disconnect and get status?

Connect/Disconnect)
Thanks Conrad for your response. This still launches "Internet
Connect". I'm trying to find a way to connect/disconnect WITHOUT
launching an application because of the unnecessary launch time.

Connection was Re: no subject)
Thanks... I can get the script to work OK by launching Internet
Connect, BUT I'm trying to get it to work via some other means so that
I do not have to launch an application.
