I agree this may only be done from a couple of PC's, but would be useful
for two or three secretaries in a large building to be able to do this.
we use Winfax for win95 - no network facility yet - and likely to be
expensive, so we only have this on one pc - as per license.
In the blurb of win95/WFWG3.11 you appear to be able to share printers AND
modems.
has anyone been able to share a modem across a windows peer to peer yet??
How does one do it??

we tend to forward all faxes without printing them out - very efficient
provided everyone checks their inboxes - we use this facility for "MRS x
arrived late - can you fit her in ....." type messages as well.
