TICKET ARCHIVE -> disconn from net

No Wonder User - Jan 23, 1999 - 1:09 am

Knowledge Level: I'm New!
Problem: Software
Computer Type: apple
Model: iMac
RAM: Not related
RAM Enhancer: None
OS Version: Not related

Description:
I don't know what I did, but I used to be able to go to the apple menu and click on something that enabled me to just disconnect very quickly when on line. Now, I virtually have to cause a line interrupt to get off the net. Can you tell me what to do to get this feature back? If it is available via an even quicker method than clicking on the apple menu that would be helpful too.
In short I want the quickest method to signoff the net. Thanks
Peace

Hi John, welcome to No Wonder!
------------------------------

I wrote an script that will either connect you to the internet if you are offline or disconnect you if you are online, you probably don't know applescript because you are new but if you need it here is the script code, it's pretty straight-forward.

try
PPP connect
on error
try
PPP disconnect
on error
quit
end try
end try

To make the script, open the script editor (If you have it) and paste the previous text in the lower window and save it as an application called whatever you want to name it. Then you can put it in the Apple Menu Items folder or just put it on the desktop like I did.

-------------------------------
If you dont understand I can email you the script as an attachment, just send me an email telling me, or if you have any comments you can email me at gregb@nowonder.com
