The first question that I have, is it possible for you to upgrade to Fedora Core 4? USB modem support is much better.
 
The second question is could you give a little more information, such as the make and model of the modem?
 
The easiest solution would be to connect via a network (NIC) card to the modem. You can get an inexpensive Linksys or Realtek NIC card, if your system does not already have one, for about $10-15 USD. Fedora should pick one of these up right off and you save yourself a lot of headaches.
