In OS 10.1, how do I tell an applescript script to connect to a SMB server?

Explaination:
Under OS 9.2.1, I used Dave 2.5.2 which was applescriptable. I could simply record that I was connecting to an Windows NT server.

I could then place a completed script in the startup items folder. At startup the script would launch Dave. The script would then run the connect to server process, put a nice little mounted drive icon on the desktop and then quit.

Any help would be truly wonderful.

I haven't tried this, but I'd guess at something like:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>
tell application <font color = red>"Finder.app"</font>
mount "smb:<font color = brown>//username assword@server/share_name</font>
end tell
</font>[/code]

Since the Finder can talk SMB it should be able to access it directly.

In addition, you should be able to omit the username assword combo and rely on your keychain to provide the password at the appropriate time.
