The differences between what you're using and HylaFAX+ will probably not 
resolve your problem directly.

Chances are that your USR modem is exhibiting some problem due to a 
misconfiguration.  USR modems are a bit quirky and can require unique 
configurations.

The 5686G model number seems to be a new one for us, and maybe you ended 
up with a bad modem config file.  Probably what you want is something 
close to this:

https://sourceforge.net/p/hylafax/HylaFAX+/HEAD/tree/trunk/config/usr-xon

However, if that doesn't work for you please post the output of 
'probemodem' against your modem.

If you really want to try HylaFAX+ then you can get it from EPEL:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

After EPEL is enabled then you'd 'yum install hylafax+'.

But, again, I don't think that you should look to that as a resolution 
for the problem you're having.

Thanks,
