[Asterisk-Users] asterisk codec negotiation problem

[bladerunner]

hello list (2nd try as my first post seems to have gone astray in the endless 
realms of tcp/ip),

i searched for nearly a week for a solution to this problem, as there is:

analog fax machine -» grandstream ata -» asterisk -» sip trunk from provider 
-» provider gateway to pstn -» analog/isdn fax machine on pstn

everything worked out fine until my provider decided to implement t38 into the 
gateway. now when i send/receive a fax message the gateway tries to connect 
with t38 and waits for a "415 unsupported media type" to receive if the device 
on the sip trunk is incapable of talking t38, in order to fall back to the 
old g711 behaviour.

but asterisk does not answer with "415 unsupported media type", he answers 
with his own codec capabilities, 
and this is ignored by the gateway. so he tries to send with t38 anyway, and 
that of course fails.

call flow:

should be: reject t.38, fallback to g.711

F6:  m=Image, t38

F11: m=Audio, PCMA


is: acknowledge with g.711 on t.38, call rejected by gateway
