[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.6.0.11-rc2, 1.6.1.2, 1.6.1.3-rc1, and 1.6.2.0-beta4 Release Announcement

[John A. Sullivan III]

That's interesting.  I was always under the impression from what I read
that T.38 was an unreliable, experimental crap-shoot at best and
something that should be avoided for production systems - that the only
reliable solution for FAX was still PSTN lines.  Is this no longer true
and all the dire caveats about T.38 faxing obsolete?

This is quite important to us as we are planning to launch a FAX service
for our clients shortly and are dreading a return to banks of modems to
handle analog lines.  Thanks - John
