Have you looked at the IPMASQ Dialer (or something like that)?  You should
be able to find it at freshmeat.net.  What I think makes it interesting is
that it consists of a daemon running on the gateway, and a win32 client
program which can be run on a Windows box in order to bring up/shut down
the ppp link.

I haven't tried it (I'm on a cable modem now), but if I have to go back to
dialup ppp I would definitely look at it.
