[cisco-voip] T.38 Fax Issue

When you say SIP trunk, are you implying that this is going to a SIP
provider?  Or is this just a SIP gateway and the fax is going out a TDM
interface?

If it's a SIP trunk you're sending the fax over, forget about anything using
NSEs - like Pete said they're Cisco proprietary.

You'll need to configure the other device for protocol based T.38 switchover
like you've got it configured on your end.
