mgetty 1.1.9 and Supra FaxModem 28.8

I'm running mgetty 1.1.9 on a Red Hat 5.0 system with Supra FaxModem 28.8's 
flashed to 33.6.  It's only been running for a week but occasionally, 
mgetty holds the uucp lock on the port and won't release.  I assume it's 
attempting to reprogram the modem, etc so I've enabled the log file output 
and will keep an eye on it.  What I find even stranger is that 
occasionally, after a user has dialed in (either login or PPP), the modem 
is in some "hung" state.  That is, I can cu -l the port but my commands 
aren't echoed back.  atz has no effect either.  I have to physically power 
the modem off to reset.  Has anyone had similar experience with Supra's 
(Diamond) or any other modem and have you found a clean solution?

Thanks.
