Assuming your Mac is connecting with PPP, there's no relationship
between LWP's connection with a web server, which has presumably closed,
and the Mac OS' connection with your ISP's PPP server, which will remain
open until you shut it manually or get timed out by your ISP.  

This latter connection is opened automatically by any TCP/IP request
from the Mac if you want to manipulate it, you need to talk to Remote
Access.

Chris has some scripts for this purpose, but I've not played with them:
