Answering message below from Antonio
Antonio is absolutely right to recommend reading Philippe's note
http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/Intel-Readme.html
which is of course mirrored as
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/Philippe.Vouters/Intel-Readme.html
However it is too early to report to Philippe because the compilation
has not yet failed: it has even not started!
It is my fault and I apologize.
I thought that kernel-headers is sufficient to compile, and Aran's
report shows that kernel-headers is indeed installed and updated on his
machine.
I overlooked Philippe's repeated statement that kernel-devel too is
necessary.
According to Aran's last attempt to compile, the failure to compile is
because kernel-devel is not installed.
So it seems to me that the next thing to do for Aran is to check if he
has kernel-devel installed (can be done by trying to install it the same
way as kernel-headers), install it if really missing, and try again to
compile ( make 536 ).

Aran,
Great news!!! Now we do know that the modem is an Intel 536 EP and
that we need to work on getting the driver to work in Ubuntu so that
you can try to use it for faxing from there.
Let me know how I can help to get it going. We review some of the
steps(in Ubuntu)
$ sudo apt-get kernel-headers-pae
for your pae kernel
Without this, the other steps below will NOT WORK :( It is very
important. Then if the kernel headers are installed, and the code does
not compile for a reason or another, we will need to let Phillipe
Vouters the maintainer of the Intel-536-537 code know about it.
change directory to intel-536-537/
$ cd intel-536-537/
$ sudo make clean
$ sudo make 536
$ sudo make install
Then configure efax-gtx/hylafax? You may also use ISDN? Stuff for
faxing, but I am not very familiar with faxing.
Hope you make it work. I don't know if you can try to fax from within
Slax?, but the purpose of using it was to make sure that the modem was
a 536 EP modem and we have confirmed that it is.
Best Regards,
Antonio
