Well, Vyacheslav Frolov (the t38modem author) seems to have disappeared 
for the moment (I guess it's been a few months now, at least).  However, 
a number of people with whom I am acquainted are using t38modem 1.0.0 in 
live, large production use, and they're adequately pleased with it.

Over the past month or so I've been working with a T.38-using national 
telco to try to evaluate their service, and I've been using t38modem 
1.0.0 to do that.  It's been a rocky road thus far (partly due to the 
telco's internal inefficiencies - partly due to my inexperience with 
t38modem in production use), however, if things eventually go well I may 
end up using it on a large scale.

If that happens, then I'll continue to push the OPAL maintainers to 
coordinate a release of OPAL, ptlib, and t38modem that all work 
together.  Once that happens you *should* see RPMs appear in time, and 
if not then I would likely put them together myself.  Until then it's a 
bit tricky to get going as it requires specific-dated code from OPAL's 
new SVN repository (at Sourceforge, if I remember right).

Thanks,

Lee.
