Bug Description
Network Manager doesn't seem to be able to set up modem ppp / dial up connection altough the old network configurator of GNOME could.
WORKAROUND (for now):
use pppd; which allows configuring a serial modem with the "sudo pppconfig" command, which will ask all the necessary questions.

Description of problem:
NetworkManager doesn't handle modem connections. That might be Ok. NM integrates with old-style ifcfg configs, so it can be done "the old way" instead.
system- config- network allows me to create a modem connection and set NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BUT NetworkManager doesn't agree and complains: network- scripts/ ifcfg-xxx ...
nm-system-settings: ifcfg-fedora: parsing /etc/sysconfig/
nm-system-settings: ifcfg-fedora: error: Unknown connection type 'Modem'
I would expect NM to show it in the dropdown, just like 'System eth0' does.
