This is because the fax is transmitted using the audio stream. It is not related to the signaling protocol (SIP/IAX etc.) but to the audio codec used. ..but.... if we can pack the fax data in a different type of stream then.... maybe... we can use GSM too... I talk about IAX, because this is the main one used by Asterisk. G.711 cannot be used for slow links, but this does not mean that the fax data (a couple of KB) cannot be passed reliable between 2 * servers using low bandwidth codecs or, why not, even another protocol...
