Problem: I would like to share a fax/modem to send faxes through the network.
I share the fax, but when I send the fax from the network, it just stays in
the spooler of the PC with the fax/modem.

Comments: Thanks for your help....

Hi aret,

I'm not sure, but my research at this point leads me to believe you can't
do what you're trying to accomplish without additional third-party
software. That is, you can't do it with Windows 95 alone which is what I
assume you're trying to do since you didn't say what software you're
currently using.

Examples of this type of software product are:

FAXmaker for Networks
http://www.gfifax.com/

RedRock FaxNow!
http://www.redrock.co.uk/product/PRODUCT.HTM

ModemShare
http://www.artisoft.com/communications.html

I can not recommend the above products as I have not used them. They are
offered here as a starting point for your own research.

I do not have experience with fax server software yet, but expect to in the
near future. I have a situation where several Windows 95 machines must
access the Internet and e-mail using one fax/modem. Thus far, I have set up
Wingate Proxy Server/Firewall software on the Windows 95 machine with the
fax/modem and everybody can browse the Internet through it. I will be adding
e-mail services software next and faxing services software after that.

WinGate

Let me know how things work out.

I Remain,
