fax machine on the network?

Hello

Does anyone have any experience of having a fax-copy-printer machine
(with its own IP) on a SBS 2000 network?

I am wondering what the pros and cons are re above and having a fax
modem attached to the server....

Cheers

Well, my experience with most multifunction devices is that they don't work
on a server OS at all. What kind do you have?

Yes. I've set up an MFP (HP 3330) with a static IP using a (dedicated 1
port print server). The problem I have found is that the HP fax software
isn't all that great...needs to be installed on each pc unlike the client
(only) part of an SBS fax service.
