Sorry to hear that - I've become spoiled, but only after switching ISP's a couple of times last year (one even dropped their local dial-up without bothering to notify users!). Guess you have to take the best of what you can get. Does AOL-UK still do the hourly charges? That's one reason I quit them (but not the only, I can assure you)...

My guess would be that if you can use Terminal to send Hayes-type commands to your modem (i.e.: ATH ATZ etc.), you could try resetting the modem that way. But as I said, I'm only guessing, since I've not laid hands on any MacOS X yet. Anyone else care to jump in here and help vlad?
