Hi Paulo,

Although the Windows 2000 Fax service does have a Sharing tab, you cannot share
the Fax service. If you click the Sharing tab, you receive the message "Sharing
is not supported."
This behavior occurs because the Fax service is a client component for the local
computer only; it cannot be used as a fax server for the network.
When you install a modem in a Windows 2000-based computer, the Fax service is
enabled by default. The service is a core component and cannot be removed. This
client-only component is not the same as the network fax components in Microsoft
Small Business Server.

Hope this helps,
Gary
