Is nice to see this kind of software popping up :-)

Are you in touch with the guys behind mobilemanager
(http://mobilemanager.movilforum.com/)? They sent an announcement about
a DBUS system like ModemManager a couple of months ago. They are part of
Telefonica, and that's the movement they did to integrate their software
with Network Manager.

Cheers.
