Fedora -- Getting rid of Modem Manager

This turns out to be modem manager. Why in the world this is a default package in an age when perhaps one in 50,000 people sill have a serial modem is a mystery to me. It used to be impossible to get rid of without also getting rid of Network Manager, but now it seems as simple as just getting rid of the package and then rebooting (or finding and killing the service, but I am due for a reboot anyhow).
