Sorry to butt in Phillipe, but John asked other questions for the official Fedora Selinux FAQ, I just used his message to ask my question regarding this (selinux denials of modem /dev/tty??).  It happens when I use a gui namely KPPP.  at the modem, i am sending this using kppp and I did 

[root at localhost ~]# ls /dev/536* -l
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 240, 1 2010-01-23 14:10 /dev/536ep
crw-rw----. 1 root root 240, 1 2010-01-23 13:43 /dev/536ep0
[root at localhost ~]# restorecon -v '/dev/536ep'
restorecon reset /dev/536ep context system_u:object_r:device_t:s0->system_u:object_r:usb_device_t:s0


setroubleshoot recommendation, I will see if this fixes it, but I tried to file a bug, but the process appears to be hanging :( will see if *it gets through* 

I waited a little bit and it did* :) 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558130

I hope not to see this again with gui KPPP.  Have not tried NetWorkManager yet?  I wonder how it works here?

Regards,

Antonio
