When I called AIX support, that was one of the things that they suggested
that I do; I've tried CTRL-C, DEL, and BREAK and nothing seems to get
that modem's attention.

Unfortunately, there were two APARs that they dug up related to this, and
as I gather, they both were included in the 3002 update.  Now, it looks
as though they've dropped the ball on me, and I have a customer who I
can't support.
