I got it working so thought I'd follow up!
Here is what I had to do...
I'm using Actuate 11 and had res_fax support already
I had to download, compile, and install res_fax_digium
I had to order a Free Fax License from digium for 1 channel
I had to change faxdetect=yes to faxdetect=cng in sip.conf or I would
get an error...
I had to change my dialplan to Answer, Wait(2) before the Dial command.
I had to add a extension for fax or I'd get an error fax extension not
found...
I created a fax-in dialplan and fax-in.pl to email me a PDF
I created a fax-out dialplan and fax-out.pl to send faxes
I created a Free account at googles hellofax.com to test receiving a fax-in.
I created a Free account at PopFax.com to test sending a fax-out.
It works even though my VOIP Provider, Flowroute, doesn't support T.38 Fax.
I just had to make sure I Answer and Wait(2) to detect the fax tone.
If anyone wants more details let me know.

My practical experience shows otherwise. I am able to receive
faxes on
SIP lines pretty reliably with no T.38 support. The biggest issue for
me is CED tones detection. If CED is detected then fax reception goes
on with no problems. I use this setup with both Asterisk receiving a
fax and then e-mailing it to me as a PDF attachment
This has been my experience also (with fax reception). Incoming faxes
work for us nearly 100% of the time.
I have not messed with fax sending and so cannot comment on that.
Kind Regards,
Chris
