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

[Stefan Kainz]

And on the voip part, we're extensively using g711 voip for fax, and in most cases it works like a charme. 
But if there's high latency or packet loss - as you said,  forget it.

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?
