Lot's, see below. But it lists the modem as
idVendor 0x0572 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc.
idProduct 0x1232 V.90 modem
The modem is a D-Link DU-560M, but obviously hidding a Conexant chip
inside.

Yes. The modem appears or disappears from lsusb as appropriate when
connected vs disconnected.

Directly to the mother board.

Errr, (confused stares into space, vague wonderings about what udev
might be) hmmm maybe, no, dunno. ;-)
# man udev
No manual entry for udev
# udev
-bash: udev: command not found

Fedora Core 2. Out of the box, i.e no patches custom kernels etc.
on a single Pentium III 450mhz box.
OK, from the digging I did it looks like FC2 comes with Kernel 2.6 and
udev. Udev is a user-level device filesystem package which replaces
devfs. I suspect you also need hotplug to take full advantage of it
(I'm not sure exactly what's the role hotplug plays here, maybe it's
just an user-level application to trigger the events for udev after
the boot stage).
I don't know the FC2 specific tools, nor have a USB modem to play with,
but what I'd suggest you to do is to:
1. make sure you have udev and hotplug installed.
2. connect the modem.
3. Look in dmesg for what the system is telling about the new kid on
the bus.
4. try to configure udev to recognize the new device, e.g. what I put
on my Debian's /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules to recognize my
QuickCam Express:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}="0870", SYSFS{idVendor}="046d", NAME="%k" \
SYMLINK="video"
A wild guess might be:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}="1232", SYSFS{idVendor}="0572", NAME="%k" \
SYMLINK="modem"
And then see if it creates a symbolic link /dev/modem->real-device. Then
configure your program to use /dev/modem
HTH some,
