For this setup, you need a ppp daemon (pppd) to pick up the incoming call
and establish a ppp connection with your remote computer. There are a bunch
of packages in
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/pub/packages-list.html
one of which might be good for you.

The ppp daemon will likely add a new interface, and you'll have to set up
Firewall rules (probably also NAT / Masquerading) on the LEAF box to get the
Internet connection.

In Switzerland, your setup would be more expensive than a direct Internet
connection. We have to pay for all phone calls and the phone call to an ISP
is cheaper than the one to a private modem. But with free local phone calls,
your situation might be different.

Alex
