The success rate with the latest opal + spandsp code should be about as 
about good as your system is capable of giving. That is, most failures 
will either be:

     - that the call is just a bad call - wrong number, messed up FAX 
machine usage, etc.
     - your systems is dropping packets or otherwise screwing up the timing.
     - T.38 negotiation is screwing up, because T.38 compatibility is 
still a mess.

The last one is such a problem for the whole industry, the SIP Forum has 
a working group to address it.
