Yes, if you send the modem AT at POFF, it powers down (I have code that 
implements this, and it works wonderfully -- for me, at least).  The 
problem is that there is nothing that *actually issues* that command to 
the modem in the OM distro at present.  I believe that there is code in 
gsmd that can issue this command, so it should be theoretically feasible 
for gsmd to power off the modem when it performs an orderly exit (does 
gsmd catch any signals?), but last time I checked (which was some time 
ago, admittedly), not even this token effort to power down the modem was 
implemented.  :(
