That's all I use, and I've been able to detect and interact with the modem 
(haven't needed to actually connect to anything yet).  Install the RPM, 
thn "chkconfig slmodemd on" and "service slmodemd start".  Then you should 
be able to define a mdem interface in system-config-network using device 
/dev/ttySL0.  You can test interactively with minicom.
