I've used it, but only to initiate connections ... I've had to set the
stettings by hand each time CommConnect opens the modem tool.

Well, that is only if you have PPP set up to start up when TCP/IP
connections are attempted.  I have a Mac::Comm::OT_PPP module on CPAN that
can control OT/PPP or the newer Remote Access in OS 8.5, using Apple events
to talk to the Remote Access or PPP Commands OSAXen.

But yes, for non-PPP connections, you should just set it up yourself and
then it should just work.  For PPP connections, you can set up PPP to
connect automatically, or use the Mac::Comm::OT_PPP module or something
like it.
