It's like: it should be obvious to the casual observer that... :).

But seriously, the wave does look chopped off every 5 ms but for some
reason the third tone is almost OK (after a ~40 ms). The rest is
garbage.
I took a tcpdump and had a look in wireshark and noticed something strange. Normal alaw (voice) traffic uses around 80kbps and I see the same number of packets in either direction (172 bytes every 20ms). However, when I execute TxFax I see two g711 alaw packets going out for every one coming back, so my outbound throughput is around 160kbps now. The second packet's payload looks similar to the first, almost like a duplicate.

Does spandsp/openpbx do some kind of 'payload redundancy' (i.e. transmit each RTP packet twice?) and if so can this be disabled? I wonder if our Cisco gateway is confused about the 2 alaw RTP packets arriving within 5ms of each other?

Here is a cut and paste of the tcpdump output I see during TxFax sending out fax tones:

18:29:01.940036 IP gateway.sipprov.com.38134 > opbx.mydomain.com.38748: UDP, length 172 18:29:01.940120 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:29:01.953296 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:29:01.960347 IP gateway.sipprov.com.38134 > opbx.mydomain.com.38748: UDP, length 172 18:29:01.960434 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:29:01.969289 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:29:01.980498 IP gateway.sipprov.com.38134 > opbx.mydomain.com.38748: UDP, length 172 18:29:01.980583 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:29:01.989295 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:29:02.000955 IP gateway.sipprov.com.38134 > opbx.mydomain.com.38748: UDP, length 172 18:29:02.001046 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:29:02.009297 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172


... whilst here is normal Voice traffic from OPBX using alaw:

18:28:51.510384 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:28:51.519825 IP gateway.sipprov.com.38134 > opbx.mydomain.com.38748: UDP, length 172 18:28:51.530379 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:28:51.539978 IP gateway.sipprov.com.38134 > opbx.mydomain.com.38748: UDP, length 172 18:28:51.550378 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:28:51.560278 IP gateway.sipprov.com.38134 > opbx.mydomain.com.38748: UDP, length 172 18:28:51.570375 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172 18:28:51.580610 IP gateway.sipprov.com.38134 > opbx.mydomain.com.38748: UDP, length 172 18:28:51.590372 IP opbx.mydomain.com.38748 > gateway.sipprov.com.38134: UDP, length 172

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
