Yeah, I know, I just didn't have time to check it. Now I've just
finished checking and Eutelia DOESN'T send any T.38 re-invite :(
I hoped it was an asterisk bug because there was a chance it may be
solved, now that I know it's an Eutelia problem I know it will never be
fixed.

If you are the receiver of the call (and thus they are the sender of the call), it is *your* system's responsibility to initiate the switch to T.38, not theirs.

Note that switching to T.38 and 'faxdetect' are two different, but related, things. You are correct in that if you are using G.729 for the voice path for an incoming call, then detecting the CNG tone from the calling FAX machine will probably not be detected 100% reliably. If you are going to have a DID be able to accept both voice and FAX calls, and discriminate between them based on detection of the CNG tone, then you'll probably have to switch to G.711 a-Law in order to have the most reliable detection.

If you are getting free phone numbers, though, you'd be far better off to just assign a dedicated number for incoming FAX calls and not rely on 'faxdetect' at all; this would allow you to use G.729 for your voice calls.
