modem disconnecting on win 98 network

I am planning on setting up a network next week at my
cabin. I have a win98 pc that I am leaving up there to
dial out to an ISP. We will be using WinXP laptops while
we are there, I have purchased LinkSys Products (802.11g)
to wirelessly link the components.

I was reading through a networking book, and it says that
if I use this configuration, the Win98 box will dial out
whenever one of the laptops try to access the internet,
however, it will not disconnect without walking over to it
and right-clicking the icon in the system tray.

Is there any way to set the Win98 machine to disconnect
automatically?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Macros,
freeware/shareware, any creative responses are welcome. I
just know that no one will go to the win98 machine to
disconnect.

- Nate

PS if anyone can think of any hurdles that I may find
along the way, I would also like to be ready for them.
