Afaik, not yet, Steve Underwood who writes on the Dev mailing list is
doing a lot of work regarding integrating T.38, at the moment. The
nearest thing you can get is his Iaxmodem, which will set up a
/dev/device softmodem for hylafax to treat as a modem and parse the data
to asterisk though an iax channel (very clever stuff) where it can be
outputted through any other channel  in your dialplan. (or conversely
the other way for incoming faxes.)

I've used it extensively at home, and it works well. About to install it
at a site.
