[asterisk-users] T.38 - By reinvitation only?

[Alex Lake]

Hi All,

Excited to see mention of T.38 passthru with 1.4.0....

BUT it seems like "Emperor's New Clothes" from my perspective.

As I understand it, T.38 passthru only works via a re-invite mechanism - 
so two T.38 devices try talking fax and request a T.38 media stream. 
Asterisk is now savvy enough to realise it can't do it, so opts out - 
"Hey Guys, I don't know diddly squat about T.38, so why don't you two 
just talk to eachother and leave me out of it."

That's great if you don't need to know about when the call ended, but 
for those that do, I assume that it's not a viable solution.

Is my understanding correct?
