I installed fedora core 5 on my computer with a US Robotics 56KB PCI

can download linux drivers for this modem?

No idea about your PCI card. I installed a PCI card in my neighbors pc.
In a nutshell you use setserial in /etc/rc.local to make linux aware
of the modem. Snippet I placed in /etc/rc.local which checks if the
modem is installed. If so, setserial with values I found with lspci -v

_cnt=$(lspci -v | grep --count "Agere Systems Venus Modem")
if [ $_cnt -gt 0 ] ; then
setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A port 0xdf00 irq 16
fi
