Does anyone know a way to reset a modem to its default values via executing
some shell commands ?  All I want to do the exact equivalent of
powering the modem off and on.

I know how to connect to the modem, and can reset via typing atz,
but I want to do this in one shell script or command.

Thanks,
Gregg

There are numerous ways to do this. you can use a cu command to
communicate with port and pass commands. You can use kermit and a script
command. Or you can use a script as you wanted. Your script should have
an stty command to set parameters

myscript </dev/ttyxx  # hold port open for duration of script

Contents of myscript:

stty 9600 sane </dev/ttyxx
echo "ATZ" >/dev/ttyxx

Note there is no error checking. With kermit or cu script, you could
check for return OK.
