Trotter,
Please visit LinModems.org page:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/
Download scanModem.gz
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz
copy it to your home folder/directory
$ gunzip scanModem.gz
$ chmod +x scanModem
$ su -
passwd:
# ./scanModem
will run and write folder Modem/ with ModemData.txt please send it to me not list here(you can register at linmodems.org site and send to discuss at linmodems.org at your discretion), but I think I can help so please send it to me if you want. I hope that the modem is not a difficult one and that we can help get you online with Fedora. If it is a cell phone that you will use as a modem, then you may safely run from a terminal
$ su -
passwd:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
and it will scan for modem ports and may find one like at /dev/ttyUSB0, or /dev/ttyACM0 or something related. Then you may edit the /etc/wvdial.conf file as root add your username, password and ISP's phone number and get connected.
Hope this helps,
Antonio
