Thanks to the patch from Alexei, the modem now works in all the fedora kernels
kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7,
kernel-2.6.22.1-33.fc7, and
kernel-2.6.22.1-41.fc7,
The only trick here, is that we need to restart martian service.
[root@localhost ~]# service martian restart
Shutting down martian_modem: Done
Starting martian_modem: Done
After this wvdial dials out and works as it should. Sorry for the
noise, and thanks Alexei for sending the patch. Now I can connect to
the net with martian again without going back to an earlier kernel.
Regards,
Antonio

Alexei,
I tried applying the patch with your instructions and it did not work,
both as regular user, and as root.

However, I made the changes to the files martian.c and mport.c stopped
the martian service and reinstalled the martian code and this is what
happened
