[VoiceOps] Audiocodes MP202B fax-to-https ATA

[Oren Yehezkely]

Jay,

The sending fax machine does not receive an accurate response.
The machine sees all faxes as successful because it is not really sending
the fax.

I recommend disabling the result report on the fax machine to save on
wasted paper and confusion.
The actual result will come via email.
