ppp error question

[Shaleh <shaleh@livenet.net>]

I received this last night:

Excessive lack of response to LCP echo frames
connection terminated

What does this mean?  I had to reboot because my box quit seeing my
modem.  setserial would say /dev/modem, unknown UART, 0x2f8 irq 3 with
`setserial /dev/modem`.  It is an internal Best Data uses dip switches
and has served me faithfully for many moons.  Is there some way to reset
a modem without a coldboot (which this required, reboot did no good)?
