This is a bit off topic for this forum (unless the modem is running Fedora).

It would have been a good idea to have told us what the model and the firmware
of the modem is. Then someone might have been able to give you a definitive
answer. As it is, all we can say is maybe.

I have a couple of adsl modems I am not using right now. One I can telnet
into, but I don't specifically remember being able to reboot it from
the command line. The other one has a web interface, and I think changing
certain settings will force a reboot. If the problem you are trying to fix
is that the modem is hung, you might not be able to issues the commands
(if any) to get it to reboot.
