Its not a hack in the sense that it's not likely to work.  It's a hack in the sense that FS acts mostly as a b2bua role and proxy is a feature mostly left to proxy software.

I would setup both and compare, using FS might be overkill if you are not planning to ever do anything else besides proxy t38.

Hi All,

New to the list and just starting to look at Freeswitch.

I have an application that I'm looking at and wondering if Freeswitch is the right fit. 

I need a (fairly) simple SIP server and a T.38 media proxy.  The setup would be SIP FXS units at the customers location doing outbound faxing. via T.38.  The FXS needs to register with my server, which will authenticate the user and connect the call to my T.38 provider's gateway.

I've seen some reference to using a "proxy-media" setting in the WIKI, but refers to it being a "hack" - so not a big confidence builder. 

I've also looked at using OpenSIPS and MediaProxy, which looks to do what I'm trying to accomplish as well.

Does it make sense to deploy FS in this scenario?

Thanks,
