[asterisk-users] Need a recommended T38 FOIP solution

[Christopher Corn]

My Asterisk PBX now is strictly IP, out a 6000/600kbps using the g729 codec.  Only thing using pstn now are my fax machines.
   
  Thanks for the input Jay.

What is your PSTN uplink now, and what's it likely to be? I assume
your primary uplink is still analog PSTN? Cause if it is, you *might*
be able to use G.711 passthrough, since you won't be trying to send the
G.711 over a VoIP link. On a LAN, it might work out for you.

Lee may have a more informed opinion on this; I will admit to speculating.
