+ The Modem objects will export a generic
+ <link linkend="gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem">Modem interface</link>
+ which includes common features and actions applicable to most modem types.
+ This interface, among other actions, allows the management (creation,
+ listing, deletion) of
+ <link linkend="ref-dbus-object-bearer">Bearer</link> objects which can
+ then be used to request the modem to get in connected state.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Modem objects will also export the generic

+ This interface provides an easy access to the most simple and common
+ operations that may be performed with the modem, including connection and
+ disconnection. Users of the Simple interface do not need to take care of
+ getting the modem registered, and they also don't need to manage the
+ creation of bearers themselves. All the logic required to get the modem
+ connected or disconnected is handled by the Simple interface.
