Thanks Kevin,<br>
<br>
I tried passing it over VOIP using g711U codecs with no success. I will try<br>
using the patches that you mentioned and post the results.<br>

As I told you on the asterisk-ss7 list, you can't 'pass through' T.38,<br>
because the PSTN does not speak T.38. If one side of the call is SIP,<br>
and the other side is TDM, then you have only two choices: pass the call<br>
through in audio mode (FAX over VoIP), or act as a T.38 gateway (FAX<br>
over T.38).<br>
<br>
At this time, the only option without patching Asterisk is to pass the<br>
call through in audio mode, but there are many, many problems with doing<br>
FAX over VoIP (Steve Underwood's page on the <a href="http://soft-switch.org" target="_blank">soft-switch.org</a> site<br>
explains them very well).<br>
<br>
There are patches in the issue tracker at <a href="http://issues.asterisk.org" target="_blank">issues.asterisk.org</a> to add<br>
T.38 gateway functionality to various releases of Asterisk, and they<br>
work well for quite a few people. If you added that, you'd be able to<br>
act as a T.38 gateway, which would dramatically increase your chances of<br>
success.<br>
