Well, i initially wrote that howto, after numerous hours of
unsuccessful compilations and wrong versions, but T38modem didn't
prove to work with our provider. Later, one Russian guy managet to get
this working with he's provider.

That's why i put CallWeaver (which basically has the same T.38 stack
as Asterisk 1.6) in it's place.

Data from Hylafax to CallWeaver is passed as TIFF image - thus no
data/quality loss.
