WS=> I had partial success.  I was able to disable the bluetooth service 
but I still was not able to completely eliminate modem-manager.  This is 
what I did...

1.  I opened up a root terminal (for convenience).
2. I was unable to make sense of what was in etc/init so I just moved 
the files bluetooth.conf and modemmanager.conf temporarily to the /root 
directory.
     I did this so I could easily restore them if the system became 
unstable.
3.  With those two files made temporarily unavailable, I rebooted the 
computer.
4. After rebooting, the computer seems to be stable.
5. When I checked (as root) ps -e, it showed that bluetooth was disabled 
but modem-manager was still there.

I surely am missing something or maybe the network needs it?
