   <title>Modems</title>
   <p>After starting <app>Modem Manager GUI</app>, the following window will be displayed:</p>

   <p>You can see the modem devices available on your system. Click on one of the entries
     to use that device.</p>

   <p>After clicking on a device, it might be needed to activate it first, if it was not
     otherwise activated on your system. <app>Modem Manager GUI</app> will ask you for
     confirmation in that case.</p>
   
   <p>Be patient after connecting a removable device such as an USB stick or PCMCIA card.
     It may take a while until the system detects it.</p>
   
   <note style="hint">
     <p>You cannot use multiple modems at the same time. If you click on another entry in the
       device list, the previously activated one will be disabled.</p>
