compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1
linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686 and any recommended dependent packages
For Debian and some related distributions, a package
kernel-kbuild-2.6-26 may be needed to support driver compiling.
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of
some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
For modem specific code
from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/ get the
intel-536EP-537EP_2009_07_07.tar.bz2 and the Intel-Readme.txt
At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ there is a useful faxing.tar.gz
though you will have to change the port /dev/ttySL0 example therein.
Beyond this, this List has no particular fax expertise.
Best to verify driver functionality first with a siimple dialout.
There is a Hylafax list which can help on modem specific issues.
