If your DSL connection keeps failing, then yes, it might be time to replace the modem. It's especially a good time if you've had that modem for a really long time - say 5 years or more - because your DSL provider is most likely updating their service every now and then, and you might end up needing to upgrade anyway.

How do you connect 56k fax modem with DSL?

The short answer is that you don't. Sure, you can plug a fax modem into a phone line that supports DSL, but it is just using the dial-up capabilities of the line and not the DSL capabilities. A regular modem like that functions like a telephone and transmits in the audible frequency range and not the higher DSL frequencies. With DSL, you'd use a DSL modem (with or without an included router), not a dial-up modem.

Check that the filter is correctly plugged into the wall socket and that the DSL cable is securely connected to the modem’s DSL port.
