Greetings,
My department at work would like to have electronic
faxing capabilities from our desktops. We have a Canon
Image Runner unit that serves as a
Print/Fax/Scan/Photocopy all in one.
I'm wondering what application in Microsoft would best
service as a fax manager for the group. I noticed Fax
Console which is part of XP Home Edition. I have the
following questions:
-Can Fax Console be configured so that the group from
multiple computers can view the received faxes (like a
fax pool)? If so, it's also very important that the
faxes be opened by only one person at a time or we'll
have duplication errors with inquiries and orders.
-Does Fax Console have the ability to have file folders
for completed faxes that the group can access for filing,
viewing, and amending?

Thank you.
Rod

Windows XP's supplied fax service CANNOT function in any form of
group/network faxing unless combined with the Shared Fax Service provided by
either Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) or Windows 2003 Server.

Is there a Microsoft download for network faxing for XP?

If not can anyone recommend a good (but inexpensive)
network fax solution for a small business network with 5
workstations sharing (1) faxmodem and (1) phone line?

Thanks

Kord

No. Windows XP Fax does not support sharing. Only Windows Server 2003 does.
There's a listing of some network faxing solutions here:
