Used it a lot before GPRS PCMCIA card come to my slot... simply emerge net-dialup/hsflinmodem, possibly last masked version and after a hsfconfig -a (configure automatically everything) 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 and then start X11, all crashed, but everything goes fine when the connection is started from inside X11... strange thing...

Now, in 1998 it takes the Power of a Pentium 200 to run Microsoft Windows 95. Something must have gone wrong. "Software is like sex.
