[plug] Restarting ppp from a 'doze box

[Scott Middleton]

I use putty at home for my wife's computer. Used Putty keygen and
authorized_keys so she doesn't have to enter a password, changed the
icon and run it minimised, all transparent.I even have a disconnect icon
and a check status icon which just pings my server at work. Took about
10 mins all together.
I use the same tactic on my Linux box except i have a script called
ConnectInternet which essentially is:
#!/bin/bash
ssh root at gateway pon

    Hey guys,
    
    I've got a Windoze box set up behind my firewall for my girlfriend to use, 
    and I want to allow her to start / restart / stop the ppp connection on the 
    firewall box from her machine.
    
    Anyone got some suggestions as to how I can go about this? (It needs to be a 
    point, click, bash PC with rock kind of solution ;)
    
    cheers,
    Anthony
