IAX2 does not have a T.38 option for its media.  If you're not talking 
about T.38 then you're talking VoIP and not FoIP.  And unless you're 
talking about a very controlled VoIP audio path (i.e. iaxmodem talking 
to Asterisk over loopback) then you're likely not going to enjoy either 
SIP or IAX2 for faxing over VoIP.

Does not matter.
