<DIV>Slightly off topic but from spec sheet the new transcoding NUIs in the
low-end ACME SBCs (3820/4500?) in theory can handle T.38 to T.30(ulaw/alaw)
interop, so you might be able to 'wrangle' it yourself.</DIV>

Although we may someday go down the road of loading an LCR table into
our SBC, at this point we are looking for a single solid termination provider
that will handle 100% of our outbound call volume (a mix of voice and fax); we
can fall-back to FlowRoute as a backup solution if the primary provider goes
down.<BR><BR>Thanks a million,<BR><BR>-- <BR>Nathan Anderson<BR>First Step
