[asterisk-users] T.38 SIP Issues

Asterisk receives T.38 RTP packet from one SIP peer and sends it to
the other SIP peer, it does not process the packets.

By your argument I can't do T.38 @ 1440bps unless the manufactures of
the Ethernet cable, switch, router, keystone jacks, network cards,
CPU, RAM, etc all paid for the royalties for the T.38 patent.

It's like G729 pass-thru.... Just the endpoints need to have the codec.
