USB modem in network worked, but accidentaly deleted, and now can't replace it.

I recently succesfully connected a Nokia 6120 cellphone to use as a 3G modem; the last time I used this was in 2009.
The USB connection and network place in my network settings "migrated" to its proper place when I upgraded to Lion this year, and when I tried the Nokia again it worked, connected through USB.
There was a second Nokia network choice on the list in my Network prefs, which I deleted, thinking that it was not necessary. After that deletion, the remaining Nokia setting would not connect the computer to the phone, and of course would provide internet access.
I tried duplicating the old setting, but now I can't select a USB option when configuring it.
All my research indicates that this is due to Lion no longer supporting USB modems. However, my Nokia worked just fine, and the old Network via USB setting was still present in Network preferences, and worked just fine until the deletion of one of the Nokia settings.
Does anyone know of a work-around or a patch that will add USB connectivity to Network preferences in Lion?
BTW... tried connecting through Bluetooth; I can pair the phone to the computer, but it will not make the modem connetion.
Would the bluetooth transfer rate be too slow, anyway?
Thanks in advance

Found the problem!
Check this thread:

There are, in fact, modem scripts available, and they go into the Library/Modem Scripts folder.
By deleting the extra configuration, I deleted the old scripts. I downloaded and installed the 3G Nokia scripts from the website shown in the above thread, and my configurations re appeared in Network prefs;
I went one step further; I connected to the internet using the restored configuration, then selected and deleted (using the - at the bottom of the list) while the connection was working. It got rid of the second configuration but kept the valid one. Hopefully, It will still be available when I attempt to connect again.
