As you've noticed, the SCNetworkConnection API was introduced in
Mac OS X 10.3. Earlier systems have no good, supported API for
managing PPP connections. There are two possible
alternatives:
1. Open Transport PPP API -- This more-or-less works, but it has
some bugs that have caused problems for various developers over the
years.
2. ppplib -- This unsupported API works more reliably than the OT
PPP API, but you have to dig into Darwin to find the API.
You can search the list archives for detailed information about
these APIs.
Finally, if you use either of these APIs, make sure that you only
use it on Mac OS X 10.x (x < 3). On Mac OS X 10.3 and later,
you must only use SCNetworkConnection. That's the only PPP API
that we intend to support in the long term.
