I am looking for a freeware program that will disconnect my dial up connection when a phone call comes in.

Google/VersionTracker for internet call waiting (+mac). I'd be surprised if you found a free solution (it'd probably cost you money every time someone calls you while you're online, because you have to use the call redirect service provided by your telephone company).

Or you could have your mac pop up a window telling you when a call is in giving you the option to disconnect and answer or stay online (built in to the OS, check your modem settings).
