    We just wrote a managed service that was successfully able to send a fax
    using Windows 2000 Fax COM Object Model. We could send fax by configuring
    the service to run both under 'Local System' & 'User account'.

    Please let us know what's the exact error code you are getting & share out
    the code if possible? Is there exactly no difference between your normal app
    & service code as far as sending fax code segment is concerned.

    Also please send us the output of 'sc qc <your_service_name>' so we know
    what kind of service is yours? 'sc.exe' is a standard service controller exe
    available on windows boxes though I am not sure if it's present on Windows
    2000.
