As far as I know, modems on the Max are not statically ascociated with
channels.

Not should they be. If they were, then you could not:
- Have more modems than channels (for spare modems)
- Have more channels than modems (very useful)
- Have modems automatically swapped if they are judged to be suspect or bad.

So I don't see why disabling a modem should also cause a channel to be
disabled. Makes no sense to me.

Yet the Modem Diag options offer you the option of "disable modem" or
"disable channel+modem". If you ask me, the latter is stupid.
