In the Asterisk community we have come across some occasionally, but 
we've usually convinced the vendor to change their requirements. 
However, in these cases they have required *both* T.38 and audio in the 
initial INVITE. I've never seen an endpoint that supported *only* T.38, 
and in the latest T.38 recommendation it is suggested that such 
endpoints should still support INVITEs with audio offers, even if they 
won't generate any audio.

It would seem wise for an SBC to not break a session that is setup 
initially with T.38.
