No its not T.38 pass through. T.38 pass through is only if the 2 end points negotiated T.38, i.e. a provider that supports T.38 and an ATA that supports T.38. What you are describing will most likely fail if there is any VoIP in between, and should succeed over pure TDM using digium or similar cards. > 2.

This mode is what know to be as NVFAX detected asterisk doesn't have the ability to send or receive emails. It does have the ability to use something like sendmail to send/receive emails. I'm assuming its a typo and you meant faxes. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you need to know something go ahead and try/test it and report back. After all that is what we all did to be able to answer it. Apparently the fact that others tried it and told you that it works still warrants a question:"I need to know if this is true" > 3.

I assume you meant than not then, but I'm not sure if its a typo, you might just not know. app_fax.c does faxing. The question is what are YOU trying to do? > 4.
