I haven't done it myself, but some people around here apparently
do it.  You have to set your loss of carrier timeout (S10 on modems
that use you-know-who's command set) to, say, 20-30 seconds.  Then
you can disconnect the modem, pick up the phone, the the person to
get lost (:-)) and then hang up the phone and reconnect the modem.
Make sure you set the timeout on both ends, though, not just one.
