If you are into it you could probably fudge Linux to work with Windows'
new modem settings by looking in the windows device properties under the
modem and checking all the different io settings(IRQ, etc.), then go to
Linux and see if you can manually override the auto settings with the ones
Windows uses. Either that or you could make a little script that would
use cardctl ident(to see if and what socket the modem card is on) and
cardctl eject/cardctl insert. That should power down the card and bring
it back up so the card would reset. cardctl reset might do it also.
