My modem has switches on it for causing the DTR and CD lines to always stay
high. When I have the switches set this way, I can do whatever I want to the
PC including rebooting, and the modem does not hang up.

Procomm drops the DTR line when it exits and this is what causes your modem
to hang up. If you don't have the modem switches, you could build a cable
which would tie the pins 6, 8, and 20 all together, and then your modem
probably would not hang up when you exit. I think the dip switches are a
better idea though...
