Win98 Fax Server and Win XP Pro Clients
Generally, a fax/modem cannot be shared over a network as a shared printer
as the fax service needs to be running on the sending PC. There are devices that can do so but they aren't modems and they aren't cheap. -- Richard G.

Private mail is usually not replied to. * My website, such as it is ... http://rgharper.mvps.org/ * HELP us help YOU ... http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm wrote in message ... I have an old Win98 box that is used to do various tasks like SNTP server, dyn ip updater etc.. One of the tasks I want it to handle is network fax too. I can get this setup to work on the Win98 Boxen to add the network fax server, I can not seem to get the WinXP client to let me add the network fax server to use that versus a fax modem in the WinXP box. The WinXP box has no modem what so ever. WinXP seems to want a Fax Printer of some sort, and under the Devices Tab there is no option to "add device" like the Win98 client have. The "Add Printer" option for a network printer doesn't like the \\server\FAX for a printer. Any one done this and if so how?
