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.
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
