Well, your secret sauce was to use the old OPAL/ptlib libraries, then, 
which I deliberately did not do.  When I undertook the effort I refused 
to go with the old libraries because I knew of a lot of bugs that had 
been fixed (especially in OPAL) along the way. However, it also seems 
that OPAL developers created a fresh set of new bugs, too.

If you ever do look into working on t38modem with the new libraries then 
make sure to reach out, as a few of us have undertook quite a bit of 
effort in making that happen, already.  You'll find a few "branches" of 
it out there... hehol and michaaa are two that I referenced.  I've 
attached two patches which I developed in late 2015 against the hehol 
branch.  I did pass them upstream, but last I checked they didn't use 
them (and had also ceased development, themselves).

Thanks,

Lee.
