How to connect my home phone line(RJ11) to my ethernet?

I have Lenove 776124Q Model Laptop. I have installed Fedora 6 on my laptop. My location supports only dialup to connect to the internet. I have Agere Systems HDA Internal Modem on my laptop. There are no drivers for that modem. Is there any way to work with my ethernet?(i.e if i connect my RJ11(phone jack) to my Laptops ethernet) will this work or not. If yes tell me how to do

Anyone know how to set up an Internet connection in Linux?

My computer has two operating systems on it, Windows XP and Fedora Core 4. I recently installed a dialup modem, which works perfectly fine in Windows. I just can’t seem to get it to work in Fedora. When I try to set it up, Fedora probes for it automatically, like it’s supposed to, which works fine. When I go to establish the connection, however, it comes up with something like “Unable to initialize modem with error 2″. I’d like to eventually convert totally over to Linux, but that’s not going to happen until I get a working internet connection in Fedora Core. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong, and how to set it up right?
