You shouldn't start it with the initscript. dbus should start 
gsm0710muxd automatically. If it's not started automatically something 
is wrong.

That's the problem. Again gsm0710mux should get started automatically. 
If it's not started automatically by dbus you can do what you want and 
you won't get it to work. Believe me i had the same problem. Do you have 
the following file installed: 
/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.pyneo.muxer.service? 
Usually this file should get installed by gsm0710muxd. I "solved" the 
problem by completely removing ALL python-packages (including python 
itself), deleting /usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/python2.5 
and reinstall everything. After this procedure everything was working as 
expected.

Nope zhone needs just freesmartphone-framework and as that's not working 
correctly zhone can't work. There are other alternatives (e.g. the stuff 
provided by hackable:1 sounds interesting) but we concentrate on 
freesmartphone-framework at the moment but feel free to try other stuff. 
I guess nobody would complain about having alternatives.

No problem. After all we are one big gentoo-family, aren't we ;)
