<<Well, I've been using OT PPP lately, and I've been really happy with it. The only thing I miss is that I can't seem to find a way to script it, or use a macro program to automate connects/disconnects without going through the PPP control panel.>>
I don't remember where it was, but I saw a site that had examples of WORKING OT/PPP scripts for automating connections on the net. It was probably on Macintouch, the Macintosh Resource Page, Mac Central, or PowerPage. You could check through their old archives for the month of November if it's extremely important to you.
