[asterisk-users] OT - "T.38 unreliable on a LAN" : truth or obscurantism ?

[Darren Nickerson]

T.38 is tolerant of most network conditions, ... the challenges in getting reliable performance are usually limited to getting the interop right once, but the absolute success rate will depend on the quality of your T.38/PSTN gateway's fax implementation. In general terms, T.38 is actually the right way to cope with lossy or high jitter network conditions, and so it's reliable over most networks.

The question people usually ask is whether fax over G.711 is unreliable on a LAN. To which the answer would be a definite 'it depends' ;-)
