Fax through Network advice, please

[Deon H]

Hi there,
Win XP Prof on all machines connected to each other through 8 port hub.
Network works fine.
ADSL internet hooked onto server and all computers have internet access.

Is it possible for the computers to fax through the network ADSL.
Our ADSL line is linked with a phone line.

Regards,
Deon

No, I don't believe this would be possible. You could look into getting a
fax server, or see something like www.j2.com

It is possible, but it requires the use of the normal telephone line, if
that is in use, and a standard fax-modem. There is software available to
share one computers fax-modem to the others. If you have a normal telephone
in use on that phone line, there should be a frequency filter on the wall
jack, differenting the normal phones <4kHz and the ADSLs higher frequencies.
Just plug the fax-modem (internal or external) where your phone is connected
now and plug the phone line into the fax....

Of course you hace to setup the fax in Windows after that etc. etc.......
