Ok, great.  In this case I would expect ModemManager to find the modem
in /dev/ttyS0 through probing, but you may need to manually trigger
probing of this platform serial device, since many platform devices are
"greylisted" since they are often *not* modems.  You can do that with
the org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.ScanDevices() dbus method call.
