It might or might not suit you, but the _diald_ package is EXCELLENT! It
automatically monitors the network traffic, and when it will log out
automagically for you when you are done, say, surfing the web. :) You
can also force it to stay up or block connection by using the _dctrl_
utility (which runs under X). You can also write some small scripts to
send signals to _diald_, accomplishing the same things. :) When you tell
diald to go down, it will hang up for you. :) I *love* it! :)
