What distro and NM and MM versions? Could you grab syslogs from 
/var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log (or similar)?

Normally, there should be something like this there:
...
 NetworkManager[1312]: <info> trying to start the modem manager...
Jan 23 23:01:40 gromit modem-manager: ModemManager (version 
0.4-4.git20100720.fc14) starting...
...
