Hi,
in addition to FAXOPT(gateway) you may try to request transmission 
medium from telco - see SS7_TMR or SS7_TMR_NUM, as it should be set on 
the outgoing (dahdi) channel you need to set it on the SIP channel with 
underscore (_SS7_TMR)

The possible options are defined in libss7.h and SS7_TMR_3K1_AUDIO (or 3 
as num) works fine here. If you can detect the fax calls you may request 
64K_UNRESTRICTED data for them
