There is pretty much no way to support "regular" land line modems in
NetworkManager automatically. First of all, most of the modems these days are
softmodems which (if work in linux at all) require proprietary closed source
drivers. Additionally, there is no way to detect modems in linux (opening
random files with regexp pattern /dev/tty* does not count).
I'm not entirely sure about ISDN support, but it doesn't look like there's many
people interested in that.
So I'm going to close this bug as "WONTFIX". If you strongly disagree, open a
bug against HAL to suggest a feature to automatically detect and tag modems.
Once that is done, we can talk about adding NetworkManager support for it.
