How to install T38modem on Ubuntu 16.04
There is a common misconception between users that T38modem is actually a modem. The T38modem is not a modem, it is a class 1 FAX modem pool with H.323 endpoint with T.38 FAX support. It is also considered to be a gateway between a fax application and an IP network. This tutorial explains the installation procedure of T38modem on Ubuntu 16.04.
