[asterisk-users] T.38 fax solution, opinions?

I've never used a TDM880 for this purpose, but I've used multiple
TDM400's in this capacity (PRI -> TE4XXP -> TDM400 -> Fax Machine),
and it works as well as hooking a fax machine directly to a POTS line.

I haven't used an 880 yet, but if it works as well as the new
generations of TDM400's, then I think it would be preferable to use
one 880 in place of two 400's.  Your asterisk box would only have to
deal with half the number of interrupts.
