Hi Matthew, Marvin,

just to give some technical insight:

The power management of most drivers is still focused on APM, while most
systems nowadays have ACPI. Thus all drivers need to be changed to get
informed about a suspend / resume of the system. For most modem drivers
(ltmodem, slamr) I know off, this has not been done. So you need to
unload and reload your modem driver to initialize the hardware again.

In your case (ALSA driver) just do as root "/etc/init.d/slmodemd restart".
This should unload and reload the modemdriver and initialize the
hardware again.
