This is called T.38 gateway mode, and it's not available in any Asterisk
releases yet. This has been discussed quite often on this mailing list,
though, so a Google search of the list archives would give you pointers
to the methods you can use today to achieve this.

Asterisk 1.8 was just enhanced to provide some new APIs that will be
necessary for seamless implementation of T.38 gateway mode, and we
expect that work on that will occur in the very near future.
