Thanks, That got me closer but I'm still missing or not understanding something. The created service does not appear in the Network Preferences.

modem = LookupInterfaceByBsdName(...);

ppp = SCNetworkInterfaceCreateWithInterface(modem, kSCNetworkInterfaceTypePPP);
service = SCNetworkServiceCreate(prefs, ppp);

SCNetworkServiceSetName(service, CFSTR("TEST SERVICE"));

SCNetworkServiceSetEnabled(service, 1);

SCNetworkSetRef currentSet = SCNetworkSetCopyCurrent();
SCNetworkSetAddService(currentSet, service);
CFRelease(currentSet);

SCPreferencesSynchronize(prefs);
CFRelease(prefs);

If I recreate preferences and try to locate the service it is not found and does not appear in Network preferences panel
