WinFax PRO Fax Sharing

System Requirements
The Fax Sharing feature enables Fax Sharing Client stations to transfer faxes
across the network to and from the Fax Sharing Host station. To use the
Fax Sharing feature, you need at least one Fax Sharing Host station and
one Fax Sharing Client station on your network. Multiple Client stations can
connect to a single Host station at any one time (maximum 15 under
Windows 95/98, maximum 25 under Windows NT/2000).
The Fax Sharing Host station is any computer running WinFax with an
attached fax-capable modem or similar communications device that has
enabled the Fax Sharing Host feature.
The Fax Sharing Client station is any computer running WinFax that does
not have an attached modem or device and is set up for Fax Sharing with
the Fax Sharing Host.
