How do I make use of the connect reference?

I copied the following 5 lines from the Internet Connect ASDictionary:

connect: Initiates an Internet connection
connect reference – the object for the command
[to telephone number Unicode text] – the connection’s telephone number
[as user Unicode text] – the user name
[with password Unicode text] – the user password

I use a DSL connection and connect via Ethernet.

What means “as user”? (is it the looong account name for my internet provider?)

And how do I integrate “as user” and “with password” into the following script?

on run
   tell application "Internet Connect" to connect 
end run

As a DSL user connecting via an ethernet-based router, you have no need for Internet Connect. Your connection is always on.

Unfortunately my profider disconnects every 24 hours, so I need a script to check the status and connect if this happens.

even with a PPPOE DSL account (DSL with login & password) your login & password information will go into your “Network” pane in System Preferences. Once you have this information there, you just need to perform some kind Internet request in order for the computer to request an IP address which will log you into your DSL account. So a simple one line curl command should do it.
