You can setup windows to make the freebsd box dial/hangup... But by far the best optoin is to use a switch, I just turn the modem on to use it, and off to disconnect (: Another really clever idea however is to have a web page on the FreeBSD box, which allows the user to start or stop ppp. So then your default home page can have a connect/disconnect icon! (Or even extra functions like shutdown and whathaveyou).
