Can MicroSoft Fax be setup in a similar manner to such programs as WinFax Pro so that several Windows 95/98 clients can access a shared fax modem on an NT server?

As far as i am aware, the server version of Microsoft Fax is a seperate package to the client version for 95/98. It comes free with SBS 4.5 and works there. It is part of the BackOffice system and I am not sure if Microsoft sells it as a seperate package.

However i would say that the Server version of WinFax Pro is a far Superior fax sharing system and cheaper too!!!. I know cos we run both.

I installed Microsoft Fax on a Windows95 and shared the fax services with other users on the network. It worked fine for me. I have not tried on a Windows NT server.

Antually, you do not need a NT server for fax service. You may setup another 386 computer with Windows 95 and share the fax service.

Note: Microsoft Fax does not give as much features as WinFax. If you need more features, you'd better go for WinFax.
