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@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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
