asterisk users - Dec 2012 - $100 Bounty: Level3/Asterisk/Adtran T.38 Pass-through

We are offering $100 (paid via paypal or check) to the first person who assists
us in successfully sending and receiving faxes in the setup described below. 
Offer expires Dec 31.  We are a direct customer of Level 3, there is no other
carrier involved.

What we want to work:

    Level 3 T.38 TN <-> MSX/Nextone SBC <-> Asterisk 1.8.18.1
<-> Adtran NetVanta w/POTS and T.38 support.

When we replace Asterisk with Kamailio faxes work fine.  When we put Asterisk
there instead, then faxes fail nearly 100% of the time.

I see the switch to T.38 in the Adtran debug logs.   We can originate and
terminate T.38 calls in Asterisk using SendFax/ReceiveFax using T.38 so I'm
assuming I have my udptl.conf and sip.conf settings correct.

Have you configured the canreinvite=yes in sip peer?

I am currently off work for two days, but a 100% fail means a configuration
problem for sure.

In udptl.conf try the following option

;
; Some VoIP providers will only accept an offer with an even-numbered
; UDPTL port. Set this option so that Asterisk will only attempt to use
; even-numbered ports when negotiating T.38. Default is no.
use_even_ports = yes
;


Looking at some old notes other options I set for some devices to be 
able to pass through T.38 in sip.conf were,

directmedia=no
t38pt_udptl=no

May be worth checking the following;

directrtpsetup=no
