If you look at configs/udptl.conf.sample, all the options are outlined there, 
although the explanations are very brief. The most likely setting that is 
referred to on voipinfo is the T38FaxUdpEC setting. Possible values are 
t38UDPFEC and t38UDPRedundancy, with the former being the default. Looking at 
the code, it appears that the options are case-sensitive for udptl.conf, which 
is quite a bit different from the rest of Asterisk, so be sure to get the case 
correct.
