[cisco-voip] T.38 SIP/H323 and fax-relay ecm disable?

T38 is a version of fax-relay, so I would expect so.  The two options for
fax relay would be Cisco Fax Relay and T38.  With MGCP you would use a
different command, so you're correct it's just T.38 with H.323/SIP

You can usually test this by disabling ECM on the fax machine as well if
you think it's not taking hold.  Otherwise get a packet capture and see
what's in the T.38 packets.
