I am not sure the use of the modem disconnect button. That said, maybe consider making the modem disconnect button behavior relinquish all control of the modem and radio (CAT & PTT); such as to allow temporary use of Winlink without closing VarAC.

The main reason I'd like for the Disconnect Modem button to relinquish ALL control is so I can leave VarAC open to temporarily use the resources in another app, then return to VarAC without losing the Data Stream data.
Sometimes you disconnect from your modem. people close the modem app by mistake is a common thing. so you can re-initiate the modem connection using those buttons. I find them useful in some occasions. I dont want to use them as a disable button for all VarAC. Closing VarAC is the best option if you dont want to use it. Otherwise it will keep handle the RIG.
