I recently inherited a server running free-bsd 3.1 that runs a small dial in
pool of modems.  The modems are US Robotics 33.6 and are attached to a cyclades
unit.  The problem is that the modems constantly drop out of autoanswer.  I want
to create a crontab to call a shell script that will just send an AT command to
the modems every 10 minutes to reset them.  My problem is that I am not quite
sure how to send a direct command to a modem in a shell script.  I have
researched this pretty carefully in the FreeBSD book and some other Unix texts
that I have and I can't seem to find anything more than general ppp
documentation so I hope I am not missing anything obvious here.  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Ryan
