Yes, it works.

I currently have latest firmware installed and it still works in T.38. I 
am using UDP transport for this device as I seem to encounter problems 
with TCP or TLS.

I am currently running Asterisk 1.8.5.0.

*Product Model: * 	  HT-502 V1.1C
*Software Version: * 	  Program-- 1.0.5.5    Bootloader-- 1.0.0.9 
    Core-- 1.0.5.2    Base-- 1.0.5.2


Some settings I have set and you may wish to check for the FXS port are;

/Force INVITE: / 	No Yes (Always refresh with INVITE instead of UPDATE)
/Send Re-INVITE After Fax: / 	No Yes


/VAD: / 	No Yes
/Symmetric RTP: / 	No Yes
/Fax mode: / 	T.38 (Auto Detect) Pass-Through
/Fax tone detection mode: / 	Caller Callee Caller or Callee
/Jitter buffer type: / 	Fixed Adaptive
/Jitter buffer length: / 	Low Medium High



You will need to ensure you are using redundancy mode instead of FEC.

I am able to send a fax via my voice provider seemingly without errors 
even though ECM is not enabled, this is because redundancy mode is 
working as expected on the outbound communication.

Unfortunately my voice provider only sends one data item in the incoming 
UDPTL hence the occasional missed line.

Here is an extract from my sip.conf
