Client Sharing of Fax

Does anyone know a way around this please:
***********************
This is a quote from the FAQs posted here yesterday;
10) Why can't I share my fax modem when using XP Fax?

The XP Fax Service does not support sharing. The Fax Console Help Files
contain instructions on how to configure a remote Fax Printer, but those
instructions refer to using XP Fax as a client, not as a shared service. XP
Fax can serve as a client to fax programs that do support sharing, such as
Small Business Server Fax and Windows Server 2003 Fax.

I am trying to set up sharing a fax consul on the host PC on a client
laptop.
I do understand it will not share in the XP way i.e. "share this printer".
The problem is possibly the permissions.
I have fiddled with the fax consul permissions on the host and can now
see the hosts fax consul on the network using windows explorer but it will
not appear when adding remote fax via add new printer.
Should I be able to do it this way? Or is it totally a lost cause, unless I
use a
more versatile/expensive fax consul software?

Standard edition $999- fat chance for a home network! That is why I
wondered if there was a shortcut??!!
