[VoiceOps] T.38 termination provider?

[Jon Radel]

I believe L3 has T.38 across all the rate centers they offer service 
to.  On a call-to-call and device-to-device basis we find that it mostly 
works fine and sometimes just doesn't, but it's no more problematic than 
any other fax solution I've ever seen other than using POTS lines, and 
considerably better than some....
