Try s/'PPP disconnect'/'RA disconnect'/;

They changed the commands in the newer ARA/OSes.  The old names are still
there,  but there's something different about them.  I *think* (too much
fuzzy memory, not enough backed up to email) that the 'ppp' commands don't
work if you're using Remote Acces, but do if you're using a third party PPP
solution (config PPP, etc.).

And the glue will only work if you've installed a glue for the Remote
Access Commands Scripting Addition.  This *should* have been done when you
installed glue, but it's not a bad idea to double check.
