CED is the 2100 Hz tone the recieving fax machine emits when it goes to  
answer a call.  It tells the calling FAX machine that a fax machine  
answered, and not a person.  The trouble is CED is the exact same  
frequency that data modems use (it was actually intended to trigger the  
disabling of echo cancelation).  Some devices like credit card swipers  
still use dialup, so switching to T.38 on CED might cause the gateway to  
incorrectly switch to T.38 on data calls.

The PREAMBLE is the V.21 training sequence the two Fax modems send to each  
other to exchange capabilities.  This is different from data modem tones  
(well, not if you still use 300 baud modems) so it is much safer to  
trigger on.

It takes longer to get to PREAMBLE (both sides have to realize the other  
can hear them), so it might just be a timing thing that it didn't work.
