You can use an AVM B1 with capi4hylafax or (probably) with asterisk and
IAXmodem. I have used the first approach for some time and found
problems when sending to ISDN fax systems I was not able to resolve.

I did not try asterisk because I think it's too much work if I only want
a working HylaFAX server.

I replaced my AVM B1 card with an Eicon (now Dialogic) Diva Server card
using it's TTY interface configured as a Group 1.0 modem.

You need the Diva Server drivers for Linux from Dialogic for the TTY
interface. Version 8.5-108-80 (from the official download pages) is
compatible with Linux kernels up to 2.6.24 and version 8.5-108-106
(maybe only available from Dialogic's support) with kernels up to 2.6.25.
Kernel version 2.6.26 is not supported because of major changes in the
modules handling.
