Can anyone tell me if I buy a dialup pack and use it, will BSNL, my landline phone operator charge me for every call or for only the ISP charge.

What can be the approx price of a 50 hour internet pack available in Kolkata.

What is the price of an 56 kbps internal fax modem of any brand.

BSNL will charge you for using the phone to connect to internet. THe internet package charges are excluded from this so you have to pay for both.
A 56kbps internal fax modem - shouldn't be over 500 imo. Nobody buys these anymore. No offence.
May I suggest getting broadband? It's cheaper.:)

You will have to pay call charges as well as ISP charges. Pulse rate for internet connection is different. For daytime the pulse is of 7.5 minute and for night and sunday pulse is of 15 minute.

50hours pack of bsnl dial up will be around Rs. 300 and cost of internal modem will be around Rs. 400/- (approx).
