[Freeswitch-users] T38 Fax Fallback

[Lợi Đặng]

Hi, media proxy mode is not willing to work fine with fax t38, since
`t38_passthru=true` dont have any effect in that mode.
Could consider getting away from media proxy mode since it's not
recommended anymore by FS's developers.
Btw, you may want to upgrade your FS to 1.6.15 or later.
