This is a bit off topic for this forum (unless the modem is running Fedora). It would have been a good idea to have told us what the model and the firmware of the modem is. Then someone might have been able to give you a definitive answer. As it is, all we can say is maybe. I have a couple of adsl modems I am not using right now. One I can telnet into, but I don't specifically remember being able to reboot it from the command line. The other one has a web interface, and I think changing certain settings will force a reboot. If the problem you are trying to fix is that the modem is hung, you might not be able to issues the commands (if any) to get it to reboot.
Thanks, Bruno. I followed your hints and now I can reboot the modem from its web interface. Paul
