Remarks

Using a fax server installed on a computer other than the current computer

You have the ability to use a fax server installed on a computer other than the current computer. In this case, the computer where the fax server is installed must be running Windows Server 2003. The fax server must be shared. Then, the name of fax server must be specified in FaxConnect.

The computer from which the faxes will be sent must be equipped with a local fax server.

For example, if the fax server is installed on the "FaxServer1" computer, use the following code:

ConnectID is int
ConnectID = FaxConnect("FaxServer1")
