Sorry for the lack of detail in the original post.

The system is running F17 with Gnome. Modem manager is a process that 
gets loaded by network manager. In /var/log/messages, I see modem 
manager and  a bunch of plugins (with modem names) being loaded by 
network manager.  I don't know if it consumes any resources (except 
memory) since I don't have a modem for it to manage, but I want it to go 
away.

Nwtwork manager is also loading a bunch of wireless networking modules, 
which I also don't have, but I bitch about that in another post.

Thanks for the reply.
