[Maxima] Numerical summation of series

Is it possible to sum a series like

sum(1/(1+n^2),n,1,inf)

numerically? Setting numer:true and applying float(-) did not seem to have
any effect (except for replacing 1 by 1.0).

The Levin u-transform is an often used method for summing such series
(with error
estimate).

Michel
