Re: SBS 2003, setting up FAX services....

Thanks Jenny, this will help. Any suggestions for a modem. I want
external, and prefer USR, but choosing Serial because I can't find a
modem USB that supports Windows 2003. I have chosen a little Sportser
serial modem but have not ordered it yet.

Thanks again for the help.

Regards,
Jeff
