T.38 gateway is a totally different problem than T.38 origination/termination. They share very little code, and almost none of their design. Regards, Steve Well, It turns out their SIP provider doesn't support the T.38 protocol for faxing. Their statement is if you really need it, use ulaw and

Is my only solution to add a fax machine to our VOIP only setup by using an IAXy? I should specify the office people want a traditional fax machine in the sense that fax's be sent and received from a physical unit, they don't want an email to fax setup. They have a dedicated sip did provisioned
