The TSI is stored as the IMAGEDESCRIPTION, but how does Hylafax store 
the other call details, like Caller*ID? It should be simple to make 
Callweaver do exactly the same thing. All the same information is 
available to it.

Now the T.38 code in spandsp is getting pretty stable, I might look 
again at making its T.31 interface work with T.38. iaxmodem would have a 
problem making use of that, as T.38 is not defined for use over IAX. 
However, another thing I am working towards is a SIP fax terminal, 
separate from things like Callweaver. That could easily become a SIP 
based replacement for iaxmodem. Lots of neat things are possible. Its 
all a matter of finding the time to complete them. :-)
