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.
