   D.2.1.1     Call setup

   Call setup for Annex D/T.38 compliant implementations is based on SIP
   (Session Initiation Protocol) defined in RFC 2543. As in Annex B,
   implementations may operate in two distinct compatible environments:

   1)          A facsimile-only over IP environment - In this environment,
   no voice support is provided. The procedures and requirements of D.2.2.3
   shall apply to implementations operating in this environment.

   2)          A facsimile and voice over IP environment - The procedures
   and requirements of this annex shall apply to implementations operating
   in this environment.

   One vendor is stating that an implementation that supports #2 does not
   need to support #1. In my mind, for these environments to be
   "compatible" a fax/voice environment (ex. gateway) would need to support
   receipt of calls from a fax-only environment (ex. T.38 application).

   Thoughts ?

Don't buy from that vendor.

>From a standards point of view, a device that claims to be compliant
with D.2.1.1 item 2 must implement all of Annex D, that's what the
item says.  A device that claims only item 1 seems to be allowed to
restrict its implementation to D.2.2.3 (and whatever other sections
that implies) -- all of which *must* be included in what item 2
describes.

So if D.2.2.3 describes how to receive a call with only T.38 media
listed in the initial SDP, then an item 2 device must be able to
receive it, because D.2.2.3 is part of "this annex" specified in item
2.
