Hi Jeff,

Hoping for some clarification.  I would like to setup a NORMAL (not
T.38) fax machine on an ATA, and have the ATA be a T.38 gateway to a
remote asterisk (1.8) server, which is doing T.38 relay (passthru)
to a provider.

Some amount of googling today seems to imply that most ATAs are just
T.38 passthru devices, and expect a T.38 capable fax machine,
otherwise just fallback to ulaw (and mostly fail, in my experience
so far).

So does anyone use an ATA that actually does the gateway transcoding
to a normal fax machine?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I am using Cisco SPA-8000 and Cisco SPA-3102 as POTS(analog)<>T.38
gateway to an Asterisk 10 doing T.38<>RNIS gateway and it works fine (at
least better than ulaw/alaw over the whole IP network).

However I had to upgrade all ATA firmwares in order to get something
working correctly.

Aha! That is what I am looking for. What firmware rev are you using on the 3102? So if I am parsing you correctly, the asterisk server the ATA is registered to is *also* a T.38 gateway, as you have directly connected ISDN?

Cheers,
