Re: Fax Services



I have not done it that way, but having a problem with a PC thats has an
internal mode, disabled it in device manager. The Fax console will not fax
from the server at all.

Can this be due to the process I installed Fax Services?

I DO INTEND TO DO CORECCTLY AS EXPLAINED BELOW AS I DON 'T WISH MY CLIENT TO
EXPERIENCE ANY COMPLICATIONS.

Thanks
