fax server???

[Guest]

is it possible to make one computer in a network a fax server using win xp,
office 2003, and fax/modem. So other computer on the LAN can send and
recieve faxes via the modem.
If so how to configure windows so other computers can find the fax printer
etc..

The Windows XP fax is not shareable.

You can share the CAPI then install the fax software on many different
computers. For example using the following open source appliation:
