    I am running Redhat Version 9. Via a GUI, I execute program
    "redhat-control-network" to dial into my ISP. I have a call waiting
    modem, and call waiting, so that I will know if I get a call while
    connected, and can answer the call should I desire.

    I have a problem, however. If I get a call, and answer the phone, the
    call to my ISP is dropped. That is not the problem. The problem is
    that when I am done with the phone call, I am then unable to use the GUI
    to reconnect; it still shows me as connected, and I cannot deactivate
    the device via the GUI. The only way to correct things is to shut down
    and reboot. I do not want to have to do that. How can I reset things
    without shutting down and rebooting? TIA
