Hi there,
I recently upgraded from an XP pro “server” to a 2003 Server. I want to
take advantage of the faxing services for my Windows clients.
I have set up the 2003 Server to be able to send faxes. I can see the shared fax from an XP Media client. When I try to send a fax to the server from the client, it goes through the motions of sending the fax (no errors or warnings) but an entry never appears in the out queue on either the client or the
server.
Now if I go to the printers and faxes page (not the fax console) on the client and look at the list of devices, the server’s shared fax has a ‘1’ in the “documents” column.
Another issue I have is the server picks up on the second ring and does not let the answering machine get a chance to pick up (we have a small office with a single phone line.) I know it is possible for the two to share the line as the old fashioned “normal” fax machine does this now.
Eventually I’d like the server to receive faxes and email them to the admin (is there a way to forward them to specific recipients?)
Is there any good article that can help me with this setup? I have been searching, but there is not a lot of _useful_ information.
thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Jordan
