I am using it to dial a number that9s I want to keep hidden. I have
succeeded in getting it to dial and not leave any record of it except in the
Connection Log in the Internet Connect application.
Is there any way to tell the PPP daemon to not log down a particular dial,
or is there any way I could get rid of the log entries using my Cocoa app?

It's a bad idea to do this.

Why would you want to hide the fact that your app is using the telephone line from the user? The telephone line is a resource which costs the user $$$ ... so, you hiding the fact from her, is a bad thing.

I can think of only one reason you would want to do this: nefarious XXX dial-back software $$$-making scam scheme.

That's not the sort of software project I'd like to help, and I hope nobody else wants to help write that sort of software, either ...
