<div>Interseting you mentioned this for I was having to look this info up this week as well and found this article:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121newft/121t/121t3/dt_t38fx.htm">http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121newft/121t/121t3/dt_t38fx.htm</a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>What I understood is that it varies depending on the fax rate command. If you use fax rate voice it will take 64k, but if you use faxrate 9600 it only uses 24k.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Excerp:</strong></div>
<div><strong>Note</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The fax call will not get compressed using the ip rtp header-compression command, because User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is being used and not Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). For example, 9600 fax call will take about 24 kbps.
