The Debian package "build-essential" installs everything you need to build 
most packages in one easy go.  However, in your case, you're building a 
kernel module, which is a bit special; you also need to install 
the "kernel-headers" package with the same version number as your kernel  (or 
build your own kernel, which will automatically generate these files; but 
that's a bit more advanced).

By the way, if a build process ever complains about a missing package that you 
know you have, then you probably need to install the development version of 
that package  (which contains some extra files not usually required for 
day-to-day use); this has the same name as the package but with -dev on the 
end.  For instance, libgtk2.0-dev is the development version of the package 
libgtk2.0.

In general, get your modem working with something like minicom *first*, before 
you try anything complicated like faxing.
