Actually, philosophically, by default it's disabled. You need to run a
pppd to connect, as a GSM modem just provides one with a modem emulation.

Now the question is if the software will automatically connect you, but
I guess, there will be always an option to turn it off.

(E.g. one idea that comes to mind, even if the software insists on
respawning the pppd all the time, would be to set the APN to something
not existing. This would make the pppd connections fail all the time ;))
