Setting Up a Fax Sharing Host Station
Your Fax Sharing network must have at least one Fax Sharing Host station.
If you have a modem or communications device attached to your WinFax
station, you can share your modem or device with other WinFax users on
your network when you enable the Fax Sharing Host feature. To set up
your WinFax station as a Fax Sharing Host, install WinFax to work with
your modem or device and then enable the Fax Sharing Host feature.
