martin, et al--

changing the preferences does not make the decode any better.  in fact i
believe it becomes worse.  that would make sense since martin metions the
2 versions are not compatible.  if it had worked i would have asked some
very different questions, starting with why the encoding version changes
for only 2 sequnece numbers several thousand packets into a call....

Hi
I havent been able too look at your files since Im on a vatation trip and
sitting on 
an Internet cafe.

But please note that you may have to change preference settings for T38 in
Ethereal
(Edit/Preferences.../Protocols/T38).
There are incompatible ASN.1 specifications for T.38 so you have to select
the
right one (pre-Corrigendum is the default).
