As a datapoint I send and receive probably 50 or more faxes a day without any 
issues whatsoever.

PRI - *1 - IAX2 - *2 - Adit600 - 2 Fax machines

The IAX2 link is one hop (SDSL from our "colo" downtown to our office 2km 
away), *1 has a TE405P and *2 has a T100P.  I'm not using any kind of unusual 
dial command or options.

I kind of wondered what 'd' did differently, I'm interested in seeing if this 
helps Daniel's problem.

... We have one of *the* most picky fax machines around, too: a Canon iR3300.  
It refused to negotiate with several machines before we did anything at all 
involving VOIP.
