In many cases fax over VOIP simply isn't possible. I use m0n0wall and
also a Asterisk server to provide voip based phones for y home and
office. Fax over voip is only really reliable with T.38 protocol
implemented. Most ATAs don't implement this, or provide poor
implementations. You certainly won't have any success using a highly
compressed codec. Only using G.711 will you even have a chance.

If your m0n0wall installation is successfully working with the voip
installation from a voice perspective then m0n0 is working correctly.
What you're seeing is probably not a m0n0wall issue at all.

Fax is in part the achilles heel of voip.
