I think you are missing something. Steve means that since its in add-ons its probably a GPL addition and not compatible with the g729 licensing.
A t.38 gateway involves more than origination and termination, those 2 are pretty easy and do not involve any modems, the gatewaying is the harder part. Zoa.
