I have come across documentation in the past stating that unless a
user was running MS Small Business Server or perhaps another server
offering(I forget now), that the ability to share a fax service
installed on the server with other client machines was not supported.
In fact I have even tried to share my fax "printer" on my home network
with the result that XP says it's not supported. On further
investigation I find articles through googling, that take me to MS
support documents talking about sharing among other things, FAX$
service on XP. I know windows 2003 has the ability but I can't afford
Windows 2003 so my question then is what am I missing in these
articles? It says the document is for XP however MS says faxing via
the LAN is supported from Windows 2003 and up, or if you have Small
business Server or something like that.
Again when I followed the instruction I was not able to find the Fax$
share in Computer Management but I'm confused..... Any thoughts would
be appreciated.
My idea is that if it's a share, even a hidden share, that one should
be able to share it with admin rights and then at least attempt to
share the fax process correct? Ideally, I might be out and agree to
fax something to someone at sometime during the day and so I pull up
the documents to be faxed, create them then print them to the network
fax machine. Assuming the computer I'm on is away from the home
network where the fax computer is setup I simply press print and send
all my documents that need faxing to the network printer where they
patiently sit in queue until my computer connects with the home
network and begins connecting with the fax computer. Then my
documents are sent out without any further intervention on my part.
