Fax Sharing Problem

[summit]

I have a Windows 2000 Member Server that has a fax device that I would like
to share with a few clients. When I go to "Sharing" in the print device, I
get the message that "Sharing is not supported". How can I share this fax?
Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention that the fax device is working properly and I can fax
from the server.

You can't. The Fax service under Windows 2000 and Windows XP is single
user, stand alone and cannot be shared. It can act as a client when used
with the shared fax service provided by SBS or by Windows 2003 server.
