Ask the modem manufacturer. If you mean "from Linux" then there are a couple of things that may fit your needs. One is to use X.10 to control the power to the modem and physically power cycle it using an X.10 controller. The other for some modems is to find the URL on the web interface and the form values which the menu options on the configuration interface for restarting the modem trigger and put that into a script for wget/lynx/etc to use.
