Thanks!  I'd found the rpm, but not the pdf.  I'll go
grab that too.  After installing it, /dev/ttyS[0-3] and
/dev/modem magically appeared.  I ran NetworkManager
and, set up a new dialup connection (it appears to 
use wvdial) clicked "activate", and here I am!  Couldn't
have been easier.

Thanks Fedora! (and also USR for providing Linux
upport).  And thanks too everyone who responded
to my question.  Gotta go get the firewall going
now.
