Has anyone gotten this to work?

Vista build 5308. During setup of the fax client you have the choose of
using a modem or a network fax server. I can only assume that the fax
client during account setup is referring to Windows Fax Services; which i
have running on a windows 2003 server std ed.

I'm honestly not sure whether they've tested it with Windows Server 2003 or
not - but it certainly seems to work fine in 5342.

If you have a datafax modem in your PC, thats what you will use to fac if
you are not on a network. If you are on a network, connected to a Windows
Server domain, the Windows Server is setup with fax services installed from
the Windows Components by your Administrator, then you would use Network Fax
Server.

Why would I want to supply 100 users with a modem in each machine? Why
not control faxes from a central location? Again, my question is has anyone
gotten netowrk faxing working using build 5308 (or any build for that
matter) and what steps did you take to accomplish this goal.

As long as you set up your Fax Server on Windows Server 2003/2003 R2
properly for it to work with Windows XP clients, it should work exactly the
same with Vista.

Can you nail it down to anything specific?

To be honest, I'm not sure if i have fax services miss configured or
configure properly due to the lack of documentation that exists on technet.
