I know, but I'm that desperate.

Hello all,
I've been hitting a wall in getting T.38 fallback to G.711 to work in a
specific case, and I was wondering if I could use kamailio to the rescue,
since all my other endeavours have failed miserably.
In short, this is this the scenario where I need to have this
manipulation
happen:
- During an established dialog between a SIP endpoint and asterisk (with
kamailio in the middle acting as proxy), the latter (asterisk) sends a
re-INVITE with a single offer for m=image with T.38 in the SDP.
- The other (eccentric) endpoint (yes, it's a Cisco) replies with 200 OK,
but will reject the T.38 offer in the SDP body instead by including a
port
number of '0'
- Instead of falling back to G.711 as configured, asterisk in that case
will do nothing, and the dialog will eventually end with a BYE (don't
remember which of the two endpoints will send that, but it doesn't matter
much)
The thing here is that asterisk *WILL* fallback to G711 with a second
re-INVITE, if the other endpoint replies to the first T.38 re-INVITE
with a
negative response (488) instead of a positive one
(200) declining the
media
in the SDP body. I've looked at using
freeswitch for a fax gateway
instead,
but apparently FS doesn't support fallback at
all even in the 488 reply
case, much less in the inactive media stream in 200 OK corner case I'm
investigating.
So, I thought I'd do that in kamailio and convert those 200 OKs to 488s
with change_reply_status() from the textopsx module. Of course, the
universe hates me, and this will fail spectacularly:
> ERROR: textopsx [textopsx.c:301]: ki_change_reply_status(): the class
of
provisional or positive final replies cannot be
changed
So you can't change a reply's "class" with change_reply_status(), only
the
response code within that class can be
manipulated.
I guess my question is now whether there is any way to do this sort of
transformation with kamailio, perhaps with some other function or method?
If anyone else has had to deal with this problem and come up with a
different solution I'd be glad to hear it, as neither my head nor the
surrounding walls can take any more mutual banging at this point. Thanks!
BR,
George.
P.S. I hate fax
