No, because T.38 must be handled all the way through, up until the 
final gateway that will take the T.38 session and convert it back into 
POTS. The world doesn't really have a fax problem per se. Fax was 
developed for analog lines. What the world needs is fax machines that 
are completely IP-based and only fall back to using a gateway when 
connecting to POTS-based fax machines.
