I'm not sure this fits your needs, but I have used for a long time some quite simple things: (1) a daemon running on the I4B machine doing the ifconfig up/down thing, (2) a simple command line unix tool to run some command and while it's running tell the daemon to keep the connectin "up" and (3) a Win32 GUI application that can either spawn another process and tell the daemon to keep the internet connection up or do the up/down thing manually. The daemon collects votes and if at least one user votes for "up" it will keep the interface up. If there is demand I'll make these things available.
