I don't have a clue, but have looked at the T.38 boxes on mt 2910VG and
wondered whether it menas the voip port can only be used as fax or
wheterh it knows wheter to use T.38 only when there is a fax machine on
the oter end.

You can set up a free account with voipfone.co.uk and they give you a
fax to e-mail number with your account. Admittedly it is an 0870 number,
but for the purpose of testing, a few quid would not be a hardship.

In actual fact........ If you use your new voipfone account to dial
your voipfone fax number, by all rights it should be a free call anyway
as all inter-voipfone calls are F.O.C.

Let me know
