True, although I've yet to find a provider in this country (UK) that 
supports T.38.

He may be better off porting the number to a fax2email service (although 
ime they are worth play testing first before you put any real work on 
them, eg. recently I've found one that doesn't support Fine Print or 
higher res faxes).

AFAICT, to get a (real) fax machine using T.38, you either need to buy 
one that already supports it (never seen one, but I am assured they 
exist), Buy an ATA that supports it, or move to callweaver.
