carlo, Try detaching all external hardware to minimize complications, and retest. Can you boot into Recovery mode? If so, from the prompt,run $ sudo hsfconfig --diagnose which will write a file to the /temp/ folder. Send it to "Support (Jonathan)" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, the expert on the hsfmodem software. Many others are using the hsfmodem software effectively.
