Your ModemData.txt very clearly answers your question.
It sends you to
http://www.linux-xp-brasil.com.br/sm56-06.09.05-1-fc3-2.6.9-1.667.i686.rpm
which will work if you downgrade to FC3 ****with the same kernel
2.6.9-1.667 *******

Hello, guys!
I'm having a little problem with my modem. I have a Motorola SM56 and it
seems that the program ScanModen says to me that there is no driver for it
compatible with my linux distribution, Fedora Core 6.
Is it true?
What the best thing I should do? To "downgrade" to Fedora Core 3? Change
to other distro like Red Hat 9?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,

Support type needed or chipset: Motorola
Vendor=1057 is Motorola with some service provided through
vendor=11d4 Analog Devices Inc. Drivers are available for VERY FEW 2.4.n kernels

and for 2.6.n only a Fedora 2.6.9-1.667 at

A driver is NOT available for this kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.
Motorola seems to be only providing source code to some equipment mnaufacturers,
who may provide particular compiled Linux drivers with their products.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
