Spots,

Someone told me that this was discussed before, so I am sorry if this is a
duplication.  Frequently when a modem login session terminates by an
unclean method, the modem is no longer available for login.  It does not
answer the telephone.  There is a process left that owns the modem, which
says <exiting> as the command.  This process cannot be killed by the super
user.  To solve this we have been rebooting.  Is there a better solution?

-David-
