What are the commands/how do I kill the modem?

I have set up PPP to not kill the modem on loging out from x. Preety cool, I can log out and log in as root install etc without loosing net connection. Can't do that with windows :)

Anyway how do I kill it, for ppp get shutdown and to kill the modem I have to go to settings and change to kill the modem on log out of x, short of rebooting.

What would be the command/s?

Try to find pppd's pid eg. ps aux | grep pppd and then use kill pid or siomply issue killall pppd.Hope this helps.
