You'll need to rebuild the RPM from the SRPM.

You get the 4.1.8-1 SRPM, install that, copy the patch to the SOURCES 
directory, edit the hylafax.spec file to add the patch, and then 
'rpmbuild -ba hylafax.spec'.

If this isn't clear to you, then if you can build RPMs on your system 
(e.g., if you installed everything), then I can send you an SRPM, and 
then you can just rebuild that.

I don't know how to differentiate between the modem and the modem's 
firmware.

USR modems aren't the sharpest choice for faxing, but they do function 
tolerably well in Class 1, with a few minor hiccups as you've seen.  
Otherwise, most anything is better than USR as long as it has Class 1 
support.  See http://www.hylafax.org/howto/install.php#ss2.1 for 
reccomendations.
