John,
We found it much easier to use the ping command line tool built into OSX.
Just launch the tool with the appropriate parameters and look at the
result. The tool already is set to run as root; no need to authenticate an
admin user.
I don't know if this will initiate dialing on a PPP connection. You
probably want to preflight the connection status before doing that.
You might consider reviewing the list archives for the last few weeks. This
topic was discussed quite recently.
