Before it was completely removed, Motorola's site indicated a clean install (not an upgrade) of Windows XP is required to get the SM56 to function in XP; and, that once installed, the driver cannot be upgraded. The Windows 2000 driver should be usedfor XP.
This info is from http://808news.com/56k/sm56.htm
HOwever, I was able to loacte a page with a driver for XP

which is described as:
Dell Windows XP Drivers for the modem formerly known as Motorola SM56 Data/Fax
