the linux equivelent is minicom.... comes with most distros or is readily 
available from freshmeat web site. it's preconfigured to suit most standard 
modems (ps com1 is equivelant to /dev/ttyS0 in linux speak)

you don't kill hardware (unless you take a hammer to it:-) you kill 
applications running on it...

to list the processes, type ps -A at the 'command prompt' it will list all 
running processes..... you can select the process you want to kill/terminate 
and issue "kill xxx" where xxx is the PID of the process.

using minicom, issue the modem reset command something along the lines of 
+++ATM0 (although minicom does offer to do this through the menus)

sorry, doesn't mean anything to me.... perhaps someone else in the group can 
help with this one?

hope this is of use to you.........
