Is there really no broadband offering where you live? Keeping Fedora up to date 
(and secure, as security updates are part of the updates) over dial-up is a big 
pain, and depending on where you live (i.e. whether dial-up connections are 
metered), might also come up very expensive (huge downloads over a slow 
connection = long connection times).

If there is really no other option than 56K, make sure you pick a hardware 
modem as others have already explained, however downloading updates _will_ be a 
problem.
