Is there really no broadband offering where you live? Keeping Fedora up to date
(and secure, as security updates are part of the updates) over dial-up is a big
pain, and depending on where you live (i.e. whether dial-up connections are
metered), might also come up very expensive (huge downloads over a slow
connection = long connection times).
If there is really no other option than 56K, make sure you pick a hardware
modem as others have already explained, however downloading updates _will_ be a
problem.
