[VoiceOps] Dynamic T1 Faxing over IP

[Lee Riemer]

Connect the FAX to an analog port on the TA900.  Disable echo 
cancellation, alc, plc, nls, and lower tx/rx gain as far as it will go.  
You shouldn't need T.38 on a T1 with QoS enabled and no public 
Internet.  Disable any (super)G3 capabilities in the fax machine.
