Modems are an issue yes..  An issue that will not go away.. Also... ss 
Ubuntu is also aimed at developing nations where dialup-access will be 
with us for a lot longer than in the West, it might be good to find some 
way to make common cheap modems (winmodem/softmodem) work. If this 
solution as a side effect also screws Linuxant Co. then even better. 
(They charge more money for their Linux drivers than the cost of the 
modem itself!)

As for bluetooth, that does work for me!  Plugged in a bluetooth dongle 
(the most common, generic one) and apt-got 'bluez' and anything else 
that a search for bluetooth stuff came up with.

It's not the most refined GUI known to mankind, but it does work for 
sending files between my phone and computer.
