and with the same argument the support for DSL modems etc. could also be
moved into ModemManager.

My problem is that if ModemManager as a standalone can not deal with the
PPP portion of a dialup connection, then it is nothing more than an AT
command parser with D-Bus interface. I am failing to see the point why
this code was ever moved outside NetworkManager to begin with then.
