Title: Re: applescript to trigger dialup needed please
Maybe something like this?
tell application "Internet Connect"
activate
set mystat to get state of status
end tell
if mystat > 0 then
tell application "Internet Connect"
disconnect
quit
end tell
else
tell application "Internet Connect"
connect
quit
end tell
end if
