[Asterisk-Users] ... -> FoIP HOWTO

[Eric Smith]

Below posting seems like a FoIP success story.  I trawled the list but
found no practical guidelines, (only references to 
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=FoIP
which also does not have practical guidelines) 
on setting up FoIP functionality using T.38.

I am aware that faxing over IP is imperfect but would be very
interested in a HOWTO or FAQ on implimenting this with Asterisk.

Thanks for any pointers.
