<p>
        The process of requesting to connect or disconnect the modem is now split into
        two operations: creating a bearer with
        <a class="link" href="gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem.html#gdbus-method-org-freedesktop-ModemManager1-Modem.CreateBearer" title="The CreateBearer() method">
          <code class="function">CreateBearer()</code>
        </a>
        in the
        <a class="link" href="gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem.html" title="org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem">
          <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem</code>
        </a>
        interface and getting the bearer connected with
        <a class="link" href="gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer.html#gdbus-method-org-freedesktop-ModemManager1-Bearer.Connect" title="The Connect() method">
          <code class="function">Connect()</code>
        </a>
        in the
        <a class="link" href="gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer.html" title="org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer">
          <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer</code>
        </a>
        interface. These two steps are equivalent to the old <code class="literal"><code class="function">Connect()</code></code>
        method in the previous <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem</code>
        interface.
      </p>
<p>
        The old <code class="literal"><code class="function">Disconnect()</code></code>
        method in the previous <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem</code>
        interface is therefore also applied in a per-bearer basis through the new
        <a class="link" href="gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer.html#gdbus-method-org-freedesktop-ModemManager1-Bearer.Disconnect" title="The Disconnect() method">
          <code class="function">Disconnect()</code>
        </a>
        in the
        <a class="link" href="gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer.html" title="org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer">
          <code class="literal">org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer</code>
        </a>
        interface.
      </p>
<p>
        This logic of splitting the connection logic allows ModemManager to create
        multiple bearers that may be connected to e.g. different access points (if
        the modem allows it).
