This assumes you have ssh set up with key pairs to automatically login without a password. The easier way would be on demand dialing, although you can only control the 'hangup' by timeouts, and if you have any background task running which uses the internet (pop-mail applets, rhn applet etc) your link will be going up and down, which could get expensive if you pay $ for each call.
