You have been subscribed to a public bug: Hi guys,
I observed in Ubuntu Dapper that the Modem Monitor applet is useless if you are not a user with full administration rights. Without full administration rights you are not able to connect or disconnect to the Internet even though you have rights for serial devices. I think this is a serious bug, since you are forced to give a user more rights than necessary in case he needs to use the modem for Internet connections.
