[Freeswitch-users] Fax....How I hate you.

[Stefan Kainz]

Hello, 

We also struggled with t.38 fax on version 1.6.5 and 1.6.8.
Our solution was to downgrade to 1.4.18, after two weeks of debugging. 
( thanks to another member of this community who's name i forgot ) 

I'm already in the process of opening a bug report an providing some traces to the core dev team.

I was under the impression that without T.38, FAX machines would fail because of latency present in VoIP. Is that not true? What about when the FAX machine is sending from the PSTN instead of the ATA?
