For what it's worth, I figured out how to have the driver
automatically re-initalize upon a resume from suspend/hibernate. It
was remarkably simple:
Create a file in /etc/acpi/resume.d/ -- I called it 86_slmodem.sh.
Whatever you name it, make sure it has the ".sh" extension. Add the
following text:
#! /bin/bash
/etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart
And make it executable.
There you go. I realize this is probably not the best way, but it
works. Also, it will only work with Ubuntu or its derivatives--mostly.
Kubuntu doesn't cooperate as well, but the above script will work most
of the time as long as you kill pppd before suspending.
Thanks for the help!

Only route I know of, but I haven't tried to.
