Which version of Ubuntu are you running?

Ubuntu 8.10 does include a newer network manager which appears to 
support all sorts of internet connections including wired ethernet, 
wireless, 3G mobile broadband and dialup.  Can't say I've tried it 
though, in fact I don't even think I have a compatible modem kicking 
around anymore and I haven't the foggiest if my laptop supports it (I 
must give this a try sometime).
