Re: [hylafax-users] 3com / USR feedback please



H323 and t.38 don't work yet in asterisk. It may come later.
You need openpbx if you want t.38 to work with h.323.
H323 is just a protocol to set up a session. They both use RTP streams
to carry the voice stream so the same problems apply.

Cheers,

Luke

Just curious, does H.323 fare any better? I was about to try a scenario using a Cisco 2600 w/analog DID card to feed inbound voice and faxes into asterisk->hylafax, but sounds like it might be doomed from the start.

Thanks,
Brian
