The hayes-ril code used on GTA04, originally developed by Paul/upstream
Replicant, also contains some kind of reset logic, which reopens the
transport (/dev/ttyUSB* nodes) on failure [1]. So, it might also be
possible that the problem is already handled.

When you're using your GTA04 on a train the next time, I think it might
be worth a try with our latest Replicant image.

Best,
