I used networkmanager in FC 3 for my modem connection , but it was 
cumbersome and you didn't know if you were connected or your connect speed.
What I did was set up KPPP in Gnome and that worked really great and it 
showed they you were connected and at what speed.

I wrote down the steps for setting up KPPP in Gnome on FC 3 , here is how I 
set it up.
