Outlook, exchange and fax

Outlook 2003 11.8010.8107 SP2 (on an XP Pro machine)

SBS 2003 SP1

I'd like to use the fax in SBS but I can't get it to work.
I'd like to use fax on machines that are not directly connected to the SBS
machine but I've tried to set it up on a machine connected but I can't get
that to work either.

I've tried to run the setup on the faxclient from SBS, on the non client
machine (connected to exchange with RPC over HTTP) and get the message to
set it up from add/remove programs then install the printer but I can't
setup the printer.
From the test machine connected to the SBS machine I can get it setup but it
won't send a fax, it seems to try to send from the client not the SBS
machine.

I've been told the fax will work from either but I'm beginning to doubt it.

Any help? is it even possible?

Thanks
Brian

I'd try an SBS group, along with more setup details and more details of what
happens with transmissions.

Good luck. Never have I seen an SBS Fax setup issue dealt with in this
group.
