    Actually we just found what the problem was. The PC that was trying to
    send fax is on a domain, so we tried logging the service either as a
    user with admin rights granted by the domain OR as LocalSystem Account.
    Neither worked as was mentionned in my original post. We tried to
    change the service login to use a local user that has admin rights and
    everything worked perfectly...

    That said maybe you can clarify somethings for me. What is the exact
    right that a user should have to be able to send faxes? Also, I thought
    the LocalSystem account was like a beefed up Administrator... if that
    is the case shouldn't he be able to send faxes? What rights is that
    account missing?

    Thanks in advance!
