-
- 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.
-
- 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.

- Edit History:
-
- 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. closePPP also displays a small
- dialog box indicating that MacPPP is closing. 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
