Description of problem:My message log shows lots of plugins being loaded for modems, but there are no modems in my system.  (When was the last time anyone used a modem?)

Why is there a modem manager and why is it loading these unnecessary things?

These are WWAN modems for 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, so they aren't just 56k POTS analog modems.  What you probably want to do is to just remove ModemManager entirely if you don't have a WWAN device, and that's possible in F18+ but not yet on F17.

Thank you very much for the response.

It appears that the name is somewhat misleading.  However, your solution worked great for me because I had already upgraded to 18.

This can be closed, with my thanks.
