Mac OS X 10.2 Automatic Dial-up Location Setup (July 2003)

Internet Service Providers hope to maximize the convenience to the customers for the dial-up setup. For this purpose, we launched a project to develop a series of tools to automatically set up the dial up connection on Windows and Mac. I am responsible for Mac OS X 10.x system. According to the feature of Mac application, this software is consisted by two parts. One is the user interface developed using Cocoa with Project Builder, Interface builder and Objective-C. The user privilege check is required in this part. Another is the faceless tool carrying out the operation of PPP dialup location setting up. As a Mac developer, I used the Mac API System Configuration Framework and consulted Mac example MoreSCF. Finally, my software is packaged and compressed as the image disk (.dmg) that is downloadable from http://www.australink.net/
