Hello. Im running Asterisk 20.3.0. The system and dial plans run fine on chan_sip but we are migrating to pjsip. I am running chan_sip on port 5060 udp and pjsip on port 5061 udp. The asterisk system in question is a core phone switch connecting over 20 other Freepbx systems via simple sip trunks. Both chan sip and pjsip are operating fine in unison and I have two phone system trunks converted to PJsip. All voice calls work fine on pjsip. I just found out that T38/fax is not working at all but ONLY on pjsip. All the chan_sip trunks work completely fine and I see T38 on all those trunks with a udpctl debug and sip debug etc. Only the pjsip trunks are broken for fax/t38.
- When a fax call comes in from the PSTN and hits the asterisk box in question the call is made outbound towards the Freepbx 15.0.37.1 system (Freepbx is running Asterisk 16.30.0 w/chan_sip).
- Freepbx starts sip setup, detects fax via spandsp and faxdetect and issues a re-invite for T38 and fax. Freepbx sends three re-invites in a row (I dont know why it feels like it has to send 3 re-invites/why asterisk 20.3.0 isnt responding to the first re-invite).
- after three re-invites asterisk 20.3.0 system sends back a 200 OK for T38 on UDP port 4942 and Freepbx sends back an ACK
- Freepbx system sends a handful of UDPT38 packets towards Asterisk 20 system then dies with a generic fax error
- The next SIP message is a re-invite to go back to PCMU audio from Freepbx, asterisk 20 says OK, Freepbx Acks that ok. Then Freepbx says BYE/ends the call normally with code 16.
So for some reason there are three re-invites but finally asterisk 20 negotiates T38 on udp port 4942 from what I can see, Freepbx sends UDP to asterisk 20 but on asterisk 20 via udptl debug on I dont see any udp packets. Then freepbx detects the problem, falls back to PCMU and tears down the call.
If I switch back to chan_sip all works fine. There are no firewall issues between systems as its an any any rule both directions while I work through this issue.
I’ll paste the trunk config below, then the udptl.conf file (that works in chan_sip) and finally the call flow from the asterisk 20 side.
I really appreciate any feedback/assistance as Im at a loss especially with things looking ok config wise and it functioning perfectly with chan_sip if converted back. Im missing something clearly.

(ok I had the sip flow in a pcap file but now I see its not possible to upload a file so I did a new sip debug as a normal text flow and am pasting below)
OK hmm well now the forum is giving me an error that new users can only put two links in a post even though I havent put any links in the post… so my guess is the forum is mis-interpreting the debug paste as URL links in certain locations… Oof… I’ll try a second post for as much debug as it will allow.
