So you're dealing with some kind of callback and the Mac should initiate a
PPP connection upon receiving the call, or you just want the Mac to hang up
on the call and dial out starting up a PPP connection?  It's been a long
time since I ripped the Express Modem out of my 6400, so I'm not sure what
Apple's telephony software can do anymore.  I would start by startup up the
Script Editor and looking at the dictionaries of whatever might be
relevant, and hunting around at Apple's Web site.  I'd try getting this
working first in AppleScript, because it will be easier not having to deal
with AppleEvents directly at this point.  If you need to run a Perl script
after getting the connection up, you can always run MacPerl from
AppleScript.
