have a working asterisk 1.8.4 configuration and ITSP provider that they can 
recommend? We have been trying T.38 DIDs from our current ITSP, but we have 
been unable to make it work. I am more than happy to purchase new DIDs from 
a different provider if they will consistently work and are fairly priced.

Thanks for the suggestion Anthony.

I went ahead and signed up for a free DID from http://www.ipcomms.net/, but 
am still unable to receive faxes sent to that DID into FaxForAsterisk.

I have tried faxing to the DID from 2 different fax machines connected to 
different POTS lines. One fax machine is a Xerox Workcentre, and the other 
is a Brother Intellifax. Can you provide some more information about your 
setup? If you wouldn't mind sharing your sip.conf settings, and maybe any 
other FaxForAsterisk related dialplan settings I would be greatly 
appreciative. I feel like we must have *something* really stupid set 
incorrectly. The faxes usually attempt to send, and appear to be properly 
switching to T.38, but usually end up failing with a "receive partial". We 
are currently using the Digium fax driver, but have also tried it with 
spandsp.

I am open to any suggestions on resolving these issues. Thanks for any help 
you might be able to give!
