That's what I would do. In fact, I already have T.38 capable VOIP 
adapter (an Azatel 200) for my current fax machine but plan to upgrade 
that box to a Sipura 2100.

I don't think there is such a thing as a T38 capable fax machine. T38 
is for faxing over VOIP and I have yet to see a fax machine with a 
built-in network port so it can connect directly to the Internet...if 
you know what I mean.

FWIW, I have had absolutely zero problems receiving faxes over VOIP, 
via Asterisk, using Voicepulse Connect, IAX trunking, and g.711. My 
problems for faxing are all related to outbound faxing (using the same 
Voicepulse setup or Sixtel iax.cc). Not sure why outbound is giving me 
problems when inbound isn't giving me any. <shrug>  Of course I need to 
fax outbound more often than I need to receive inbound!
