Understood.  I did some more testing with the version of the kernel I
have in the field locally.  When the 3g modem has not crashed, I can
reset it just fine using usbcontrol reset.  I also found a Dlink hub
that when I issue a usbcontrol power_off and power_on it really does
power off and on the port. This will be handy for a couple of remote
sites for me...
