Ali,

For candidate modem in PCI bus:  04:00.0
  Class 0780: 14f1:1056 Communication controller: Conexant HCF 56k
Data/Fax/Voice/Spkp Modem
     Primary PCI_id  14f1:1056
 Support type needed or chipset:        hcflinmodem

formal support for Conexant chipset modems are available
ONLY through  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers.  Read Conexant.txt for details.
 and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.  Driver speed
is limited to  14,400 until a key is purchased.  There is NO freeware
alternative.

from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads-fc7-i686.php
first try the 	hcfpcimodem-1.13full_k2.6.21_1.3194.fc7-1fdr.i686.rpm.zip
But read the section about stk16 alternaive kernels.
