ModemManager has a list of supported devices.  Your modem is not
listed there, but older similar modems “Should work”, it says.  Did it
work on another distro before?

I have no experience with dial-up modems, but apparently ppp can be
used somehow to connect with those.  Network-manager can be made to
use ppp, but I do not know if that works in Guix right now.

Regards,
Florian
