NM has very limited support for dial up connection . On Fedora NM
displays a connect via Modem option atleast. This needs a
network-script , in conjunction with wvdial , and ppp settings ( these
are created by system-config-network on F7 )

# file : /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Airtel
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
TYPE=Modem
DEVICE=ppp0
BOOTPROTO=dialup
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=yes
