The modem installs successfully in XP but then when i try to connect XP can't
find the modem the modem use irq 21 and i tried to install another driver but nothing works I even tried all difference slots still the same, modem logg show
me fault=000003e3. Modem is a HSP56 Micro Modem with PCTel chipset.
 
There was an early version of the HSP56 Micro Modem called 56K DAA (Data Access Arrangement).
Support for these modems was drooped from the current Conexant / PCTel universal drivers for reasons unknown to me.
These were ARM/CNR or embedded AC97/ACLink modems.

You can ID your modem using a program that reads the PCI ID number embedded in the modem hardware.

If your modems ID number looks like this;
PCI\VEN_13F6&DEV_0211&SUBSYS_XXXXXXXX
you have the DAA modem.

A company that sold these modems has an archive of the last drivers released from PCTel for them.

P/S
"I even tried all difference slots still the same"
The current "UniDriverSoftware" driver, from Conexant, supports both PCI and (current) AC97/ACLink modems.
If this is a PCI modem (PCI add on card) check to see if you motherboard has a embedded modem and disable it in the BIOS.
