Don't know about the modem- but you may not have to manually power off.
control-alt-delete frequently will kill the X server cleanly. If not
Control-Command-F2 (or F3 or F4...) should bring up another console,
you can log in as root-
ps -aux |grep X
you should see something like
root 6136 blah blah /etc/X11/X
6136 will probably be different- but anyway, whatever the number-
[root@host root]# kill -9 6136
Log out, Control-Command-F1 should bring you back to your primary console.
Manually shutting down in linux is RARELY really needed.
