I have Asterisk 1.8 and use a HT503.

In sip.conf for the HT503 I use the following;

[ht503]
.
.
faxdetect=t38
directmedia=update	; may need to set directmedia=no
.
.

and for the handset;

[sip-phone]
.
faxdetect=no
.


You have not provided any information relating to your configurations.

I believe you could have the following in the HT503 sip.conf entry in 
Asterisk 11;

setvar=FAXOPT(gateway)=yes

Presumably you have also configured the fax extension according to your 
environment.
