modem usr 5637

[John Heinen]

  I bought a usb/ usrobotics5637, it sends and receives faxes etc, it 
works for windows, apple/mac, and linux. minimum off 2.4.20 or higher
  It was easy  to install it within wind xp but I don't know how how to 
install it in
Fedora.2.6.23 linux.
I tried: system, preference, hardware, keyboard, palm dev, etc
or application, sys tools,  
or   system administration, network device control.but no dice!!
It's crazy, it was so easy with windows, why not with Fedora or opensusy
Suggestions??
