How happy you are with any T.38 implementation is going to depend a lot
on what other implementations you talk too. As we test with more and
more boxes, I find them very quirky. You need to record exact revisions
of the firmware in use when logging a combination of kit as compatible.
Newer revisions are far from guaranteed to be an improvement. :-)
