Yes. Of course assuming that it's talking to a device that is T.38 capable.

Analog fax on analog fx connection in asterisk system can already
speak fax and make a tiff directly.  Mount a network share if you want
the file somewhere else. I don't see how that case would involve SIP
at all.

If you're talking about a T.38 gateway converting between SIP and
analogue I used Cisco gear as the gateway. But I don't know of any
technical reason asterisk cannot act as a T.38 gateway.

No idea. Never used callweaver.

I think everybody has pretty much just read the press release. Haven't
heard any reports of people using it yet.
