I did not try to do it outside of X, so I was not bit by conflict you spoke of. Thanks for noting that however, I would have pulled my hair out trying to figure out what I broke, if you hadn't and you hadn't meantioned it.

simply emerge net-dialup/hsflinmodem, possibly last masked version and

hsconfig  -c ITALY (to localize your telephone lines)
and hsfconfig -s at each boot (i put it in /etc/conf.d/local.start) and
you have a /dev/ttySHSF0 (strange device)

Just one annotation, I was not able to start the connection with pppd

Bye
