I don't understand exactly what you mean.
have it so a user on the client can initiate the ppp connection on
the server?
You could do this pretty easily so its from a single command to
start/stop, just setup rsa authentication with nullphrase
certificates. and sudo on the server, so he'd be running something
like..
ssh server.domain sudo poff
see relevant documentation for details.
