-
- MacPPP Control is an AppleScript Addition which allows your scripts limited
- control over MacPPP. The addition allows you to open and close the PPP link,
- and to check the state (open/closed) of the link.
-
- The package contains:
-
- - the MacPPP Control addition, which should be copied to the Scripting
- Additions folder of your Extensions folder.
- - three examples which show how to use the commands provided by the
- MacPPP Control addition.
-
- NOTE: If you use the Server parameter when calling the openPPP command, the
- Config PPP Control Panel *must* be closed. If Config PPP is open when
- openPPP tries to change the Server name, openPPP will fail because Config
- PPP locks to PPP preferences file. You can get around this by using the
- Scriptable Finder to close Config PPP before calling openPPP in your script.
-
- To use this addition you need to have AppleScript v1.0 or later, and MacPPP
- (I developed and tested MacPPP Control with v2.0.1).
-
- Note that I have no association with the authors of MacPPP, apart from being
- a happy user of their software. There are no restrictions on use or
- distribution of MacPPP Control.

-
- VERSION 1.3 OF MacPPP Control NOW DEPENDS HEAVILY ON THE INTERNALS OF MacPPP
- 2.0.1. FUTURE VERSIONS OF MacPPP MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH MacPPP Control.
- MacPPP Control IS PROVIDED AS-IS. USE FUTURE VERSIONS OF MacPPP WITH MacPPP
- Control AT YOUR OWN RISK.
-
- Edit History:
-
- V1.4 - Corrected a bug which prevented the use of getPPPServer while the
- Config PPP Control Panel was open.
-
- V1.3 - Modified openPPP to accept the name of the PPP Server to use. Added
- two new commands to query the name of the current server, and find the names
- of all defined servers.
-
- V1.2 - Modified closePPP to ensure script is in the foreground before it
- proceeds to close the connection. This is done to avoid the MacPPP hang
- which occurs if closePPP is called from a background application. openPPP
- checks to ensure MacPPP is closed before it proceeds. closePPP checks to
- ensure MacPPP is open before it proceeds. Also added an additional example
- script entitled "Check The Mail".
-
- V1.1 - example scripts are stored as text files instead of script
- applications to allow backward compatibility with AS 1.0. Also, my E-mail
- address is now correct. I apologize for any problems these items may have
- caused you.
-
- V1.0 - initial release of hack to control MacPPP from AppleScript
-
- Cheers
