I've helped a couple of developers do this as part of DTS support incidents, and I've collected together my experience in the document at the end of this email.  Take a look and let me know if anything is unclear.

Thanks, Quinn - that's perfect.  We'll use your documentation and open up a DTS incident if need be.

The other issue we are having is with managing the connection state.  We can initiate the connection ok through AppleScript, but it's hard to get reliable status (error, external disconnect, etc).  If you have any tips along that front, it would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff _______________________________________________
