Debian can only include truly free software (which meets the Debian Free 
Software Guidelines) and I would not expect the binary modules required for 
the Fritz!Card PCI to confirm to that, hence you'll probably need to either 
recompile your kernel or at least install the kernel-headers packages and 
compile AVM's driver against those..

I don't have an AVM card so I can't offer much more help here... but suffice 
to say your problem is not related to HylaFAX yet :)

My final suggestion would be to make sure you're using Debian 'sarge' rather 
than woody... Woody contains very old software now (circa April 2002).

Cheers,
Gavin.
