I believe, you can go to server where it is attached, see what modem it is. power switch will be there in the back near to power cable connected, if not, try looking in front if not unplug the power cable.

I know it sounds wierd. The modem was there for the outside supporter to dial in (for a system installed on our HP box). Now we have ssh, we'd like to disable the modem. However, if there is a way to disable the modem through some system setting other than physically unplug it, it will give us more flexibility.

Do it through SAM.

sam > peripheral devices > terminal and modems > remove device

If you want you can note settings.

1)Issue a from the console:
This should return the:
CM>

2)To disable remote access, enter the following command from the CM> prompt:
ER
This will return the following information:
current remote console access configuration :
remote CS : Enabled
Mode : Multiple
Password : test
Password Faults : 03
do you wish to change configuration ? (Y/[N]) : _
You can select Y
and disable the access
-Goodluck

Thanks, I used sam to find out the specific getty process for that modem & kill the process. The modem is still there, just not accepting incoming calls.

I assigned 10 points to you. :-)

It is a getty process.
ps -ef | grep getty
