[Asterisk-Users] t.38 support news?

[Steve Underwood]

Hi,

I have T.38 over UDPTL with SIP signalling kind of working-ish within 
Asterisk. I hope to be passing code around for some serious testing by 
other people in a couple of weeks, or so. Certainly within a month. Once 
I have it stabilised with UDPTL and SIP I will get it working with IAX. 
Then I aim to get it working over RTP. I have no plans for T.38 over TCP 
right now, as it doesn't seem to be in common use. I have no persoanl 
interest in H.323. If someone wants to extend it to work with H.323 
that's fine by me. I am making a PSTN gateway, and extended app_rxfax 
and app_txfax programs which can transfer via T.38.

The bigegst holdup has really been the poor state of T.38 support in 
current equipment. Few ATAs do it. Fewer do it right.

Regards,
Steve
