/Library/Modem\ Scripts
/System/Library/Modem\ Scripts

CCL (connection control language) is Apple's programming language for 
modems, etc. I used to have a reference for it, but I can't find it any 
longer. It's not too complicated, and you can figure out how it works 
by examining a couple of scripts.

Given the way Mac OS X handles modems, I find it at least possible, if 
not probable. But, of course, each one of us is entitled to his own 
opinion.

Macintouch, Apple discussion boards, etc. I haven't searched, but I 
don't recall seeing anything like this in RSS feeds.

Not to my knowledge. But it's not too difficult to get a list of files 
from the update package, or to unpack the update (with Pacifist or 
unpkg) and examine the updates themselves.
