Hi Todd,

Yes, it's possible to hide the password, so the user cannot see it,
however, the user may be experienced enough to find out what username
you're using, by simply looking in the Remote Access control panel
(System Preferences on Mac OS X).
In fact, it shouldn't really be hidden to people, it's a bad idea to hide
how to do a manual sign-up...
(Your ISP should always provide information on how to do it by hand)

Yep. It'll require you to do some work though, but it is possible, as
it's been done before. :)
I'll be happy to help you through the steps. Which one is first,
traditional Mac OS or Mac OS X ?
I will definately recommend using Project Builder and Objective-C if you
choose Mac OS X.
This was my first project on Mac OS X, and I didn't know Objective-C back
then.
I learned all I needed to know by going through the samples in Project
Builder's help (approx. 4 or 5 samples).
I did the Currency Converter sample a dozen times, and finally I started
on the dialer-thing.
-So I definately recommend going for Objective-C on the Mac OS X version.
It's much easier.
Regarding the traditional Mac OS version, you can choose between
CodeWarrior or MPW.
If you are very new to programming the Mac, you may want to use
CodeWarrior with PowerPlant, so you don't have to learn how to do the UI
stuff first.
