I don't have foxtel, but I am using an Optus cable box with MythTV. I had to make an IR transmitter (from http://www.lirc.org/transmitters.html), then I captured the IR codes from the remote control (using a separate IR receiver) and configured lirc to send them down through the transmitter. I'd imagine you could do something like that with the foxtel box.
