I have a fax connected to a zaptel pci card (FXS).  Fax are sent right
into an FXO card connected to my PSTN.   I don't experience problems
but then again I am a light user.
Just out of curiosity, is the problem related to sending FAX via IAX
or SIP to another asterisk server?
if asterisk will support T.38 passthru to say Hylax Fax, does that
mean I need a Hylax fax daemon in every asterisk server?
