Folks,
I found my answer.
Win2003 standard and SBS 2003 support up to 4 (four) modems. Win2003
Enterprise is unlimted.
You can control which ones are inbound and outbound.
Technical refrences are:
a) Windows 2003 Administrators Companion by MS Press.
b) In SBS 2003 Server Management | Fax Services | right click | then to
HELP. (so simple once you find the path)
The capacities of this fax server are very impressive, I suggest a good
reading of this HELP file for any one deploying Shared Fax Services.(SFS)
You don't need third party apps like GFI unless you have some serious
enterprise needs. Simply routing fax to a mail-box and
giveing access to mail-box to multiple parties solves distribution issue for
any small firm. By haveing a physical fax on same phone line with
SFS to be two ring answer and physical for 4 rings, one will have still have
acess to phyisical fax and also backup for fax service when
the server crashes. <grin>
Brooktrout has a new board that I did not know of that is designed special
for SBS2003 and is an FSP ( Fax Service Provider)
(internal link built into help file - intertesting product placment ad !)
Also help mentions adaptive modems ( they determine between voice and fax
call and decide how to answer) could be valuable for
DSL line user to maximuize the value of phone line.
