Sharing modem for faxing

[upec]

Currently I have 4 PC networked together. I am able sharing the printer, files, and internet connection (cable modem) from the server. I also have an regular Data Fax modem installed on my server. Is it possible to share the Fax modem so all PC can send fax though the server?

Any help will be appreciated.

I don't believe so, but you can easily send faxes over the internet, which is already shared. Just go look around <A HREF="http://www.tucows.com" target="_new">Tucows</A> for some software to do it with.

Surely if you set the fax up as a printer (which most fax software does anyway), and then shared the faxprinter as you would share any other printer- would this not work? hmm I may try it when I get home unless (likely..) I've forgotton by then!

He's talking about using a modem to fax, not using an actual fax machine.

Yes I know, but a lot of fax software installs a "fax printer" in the printers folder, and to fax, you simply "print" to the faxprinter, I tried this last night at home and seemed to work ok (I didnt fax but dialed my other phone and it seemed to go ok), the fax software needed installing on both pc's

Can you tell me what fax software are you using?

Thanks.

Bitware, not the best but it came free with my modem
