How do you configure v.92 serial/usb external dialup modems in Fedora 12? All I see from NetworkManager are options for configuring wireless modems and other hardware, which quite frankly is totally useless to me but shows nothing dealing with usb/serial modems, but as can be clearly be seen below Fedora 12 itself sees the usb-to-serial port cable I'm using with my laptop, while with various Fedora 12 live cd's NetworkManager seem for some completely unknown reason and idiotic reason seem totally ignore the serial ports on my main machine.
I don't know who got the bright idea of ignoring serial/usb modems, but it's a totally and completely stupid idea given that a lot of people are still perfectly happy with their dial-up connections and aren't about to run out and subscribe to some overpriced and ridiculous wireless data plan.
