But by far t= he=20 best optoin is to use a switch, I just turn the modem on to use it, and o= ff=20 to disconnect (: Another really clever idea however is to have a web page on the FreeBSD b= ox,=20 which allows the user to start or stop ppp. So then your default home pag= e=20 can have a connect/disconnect icon! (Or even extra functions like shutdow= n=20 and whathaveyou).
