Introducing WinFax PRO Fax Sharing

WinFax turns your computer into a full-featured fax messaging communications center. Using WinFax, you can send and receive fax documents from your computer at any time.

WinFax sends and receives messages using a modem or related communications device. For most WinFax users, the modem or device is installed locally on their computer. However, if you do not have a modem or device installed on your computer, you can still send and receive messages by setting up your computer as a Fax Sharing Client station and using the modem or device attached to the Fax Sharing Host station on your network.

The Fax Sharing Host station is the messaging center for all Fax Sharing Clients on your network. Using Fax Sharing Client, you can select the documents you want to fax on your computer, assemble your fax in the Send dialog, and then transfer the documents over the network to a Fax Sharing Host to be faxed—all with a single click. Similarly, the Fax Sharing Host receives messages for all users on your Fax Sharing network.

To retrieve faxes, you simply connect to the Fax Sharing Host Receive Log and select the faxes that belong to you.

The following diagrams illustrate how the Fax Sharing Host handles all sending and receiving activities for your Fax Sharing network.
