[asterisk-users] T38MaxBitRate issue on fax passthrough

Having an issue with receiving faxes, but when I pass through the fax.

Currently, I receive the fax with Digium's Fax for Asterisk, store it and 
the initiate an outbound call to our fax server. (XMedius Fax). This 
works, but we would prefer to have Asterisk simply route the call directly 
to the fax server and take the store and forward out of the equation. 

When I do that, however, the fax is never properly negotiated. One thing I 
have noticed is that XMedius Fax tells Asterisk it has 
'a=T38maxBitRate:14400' and Asterisk immediately turns around and tells 
our upstream provider 'a=T38MaxBitRate:2400' on the invites (full invite
text below). Is the fact that XMedius is not capitalizing the 'm' in 
'T38maxBitRate' the cause of Asterisk telling the upstream provider that
the 'T38MaxBitRate' is 2400?

This should be the relevant sip debug. I have replaced the IP addresses 
with XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (or WWW or YYY or ZZZ) as appropriate.
