[asterisk-users] fax / t38 gateway

[Brendan Martens]

I am using 1.6.0.1 and we are going to be pure voip. I know it has  
pass through and termination, but that is useless if I don't have a  
way to transform the analog t.30 to t.38 before it gets to me. That is  
where my confusion lays, is there some way of doing this that I am not  
aware of?
