Modern versions of iaxmodem, when run in "daemon" mode will restart the 
modems by sending SIGHUP to the modem.  If you do a 'kill -9' to a modem 
in daemon mode then it won't respawn.

Get the pid of the iaxmodem process:

lsof | grep `ls -l /dev/ttyIAX00 | sed 's/.* //'` | grep "^iaxmodem" | 
sed -e 's/^iaxmodem *//' -e 's/ .*//'

Send it SIGHUP:

kill -HUP <pid>

Thanks,

Lee.
