What you should try doing is send a fax FROM the SIP ATA through the ISDN line & T38Gateway that way when it fails the fault can be blamed on callweaver and not the ATA being used. Give it a try... you'll find that it does not work.
Why am I so hostile about this? This is the same way that Callweaver devel team treated me a year ago when I tried to help out in getting T38Gateway to work correctly. And, unless someone can prove me wrong, nothing has been done to fix these issues.
