    Is it possible to use IAXModem to get Hylafax to talk to Asterisk so Asterisk will do T38? on another list, someone said no, but that seems to destroy a large part of the point of getting hylafax to talk to Asterisk in the first place (Which is what IAxmodem is meant for, at least partially, right?)

    So, did I just mis-understand him? Did he misunderstand me? Is one of us Wrong?

    And assuming that this *CAN* be done, can someone point me at documentation to explain how? I just read through the Asterisk docs and they weren't very helpful.

    thanks.

    IAXmodem was always designed to talk to Asterisk for the purposes of sending/receiving faxes on PSTN lines (for example a T1) and not T.38 or VoIP.

    It's conceivable that Asterisk should be able to gateway between iaxmodem and a T.38 endpoint, but I can't admit to having ever tried it myself or heard with certainty that someone has been doing it.
