Well, I could give it a try.

However, I received ~5 faxes last year and sent 1, so I am not
the most active fax user ever. Besides, with more bandwidth and
less jitter, faxes even work with plain iaxmodem[0]

Nevertheless, when there is a newer opal version in debian and
t38modem then has a nother FTBS-bugs, I can proabably package the
version from github.

digitised again, send in small packet over the net, all by the
same CPU in realtime. Receiving end analog. Amazing[1]..
